Compounding the problem is the fact that over the air broadcasters in small markets are unable to generate enough revenue to pay for any kind of upgrade. Locally we have no over the air broadcasters that have even upgraded to stereo sound from monaural. At the present time we have five local stations including PBS and two are low power. My guess is that the day the FCC says that the broadcasts must be digital and/or HD there will be at most two local stations on the air including PBS. The local cable is a mix of analog and digital and only the digital channels include enhanced sound of any kind. My guess is that the local situation is pretty much what you'll find in small market areas nationwide.
