Worried about the Digital Transition? Relax. You have Cable service from ATMC Cable.
As you may have heard, all U.S. television broadcasters must switch their transmissions from analog to digital by the end of the day on
February 17, 2009, as required by federal law. Because we are in the Wilmington, NC Television market, the Digital Transition will take place at midnight on
September 8th, 2008.
How does the digital transition affect me?
As long as your televisions are connected to ATMC Cable service you will not be affected. You will continue to receive all of your favorite shows and all the great programming you've come to expect. You don't need to do a thing!
Connect All of Your TVs
If you have televisions in your home that are receiving broadcast signals via antenna or "rabbit ears", you may want to get them connected to cable service. Just contact ATMC at 754-4311 for installation.
