But are they required to offer it in an analog format?
My understanding is that recent legislation has mandated
digital service nationwide; I'm not sure if providers are
allowed to phase out analog, though.  (Last year my local
PBS station had to do a special pledge drive in order to
finance a legislatively-mandated upgrade of all their
transmission equipment to be digital-capable.)
