Why is Midcontinent upgrading channels from analog to digital?

---

This is being done to offer additional programming. More information can be carried using digital broadcasting signals than is currently possible with analog technology. The same amount of bandwidth that previously carried a single analog channel has the capacity to carry multiple digital channels and High Definition channels. Furthermore, in most cases, digital provides an improved picture and sound quality for the viewer.

 

Is this related to the 2009 DTV Transition?
