Come August 31 2011 anyone in Nunatsiavut who just has over the air TV for their entertainment and news gathering is going to be “out of luck baby”.

As this article says, all TV producers will have to switch to digital transmission on that date.

The article does give one a glimmer of hope that the final switch date could be moved to August 2012.

I have it on good authority that that optimism is just that, optimism.

There will be no extension given.

So anyone who wants to watch CBC and APTN will have to subscribe to either cable or satellite TV.

No subscription, just a big blank screen.

How about them apples?
