Like the upcoming Memorial Day weekend usually signals the start of the mythical Summer Driving Season, today apparently signals the start of the Official DTV Transition - We're Serious About This, We're Really Going To Do This Now - Season...with the June 12th transition date just weeks away.
Local TV stations in Northeast Ohio are indeed joining along with a nationwide DTV "soft test", interrupting their analog signals three times today to urge viewers to, well, make their own transition.

I commented on the DTV blog as well, but at 7AM all stations except WBNX, WEAO and WVPX had the DTV test message. Also, WJW just ran a hot pink crawl over their newscast.
My TWC has all the digital versions of the channels, except for WVIZ, where I saw the test message at 7:30. I'll have to check again at 6:30.
Also, what I thought was odd is WKYC. It looks like WKYC's analog feed is still on TWC, but it didn't go off during the test. I had one TV with an antenna going and I noticed the DTV crawl just before the test on 3 OTA looks the same as the crawl on 3 on TWC. But WKYCHD had an entirely different looking crawl. That made it look like WKYC is still using the analog feed.
