The FCC’s plan for DTV implementation commenced in November 1998 with 26 “pioneer” DTV stations. 40 network DTV stations were supposed to be on air by May 1999, with all remaining commercial and non-commercial stations by May 2003. At this writing (03/04) there are about 1200 DTV stations broadcasting, depending on whether you read the NAB or FCC lists.
