They weren't affected by the analogue-to-digital transition (they could switch if they wanted to but they were not required to switch), but they were affected by the reductuion in the RF frequencies used by broadcast TV; all stations, without exception, were affected. The Digital TV and Public Safety Act of 2005 (aka Title III of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005) was quite clear on that point. As of June 12, 2009 there should be no stations broadcasting on channels higher than channel 51. It is possible that the stations might have been granted an extension but this is probaby a short term arrangement.
