Independent over-the-air television stations in Victoria, Hamilton and Montreal say they will meet next year’s deadline to convert their transmitters from analogue to digital broadcasting.

John Pollard, station manager at independent station CHEK TV in Victoria, B.C., told The Wire Report that the station will probably be broadcasting in digital well before the Aug. 31, 2011 deadline.

Pollard said engineers are now working out a plan for the station, which they intend to have in place by the end of the year.
