With the current economy and with radio and TV ad sales being very slow right now (I work in radio part-time), I expect most stations will switch off analog on Feb. 17. Especially since the engineering work is likely already scheduled to take place or taking place right now. The problem will be for stations changing from their current digital frequency to one occupied by another broadcaster's analog signal (if that station keeps analog on the air).
The device is aimed at gamers and TV watchers, generating a 3D image with use of a pair of 0.7-inch OLED panels, which each display separate images, doing away with the ghost imagery that often comes along with 3D displays.

Ad sales are actually a reason to keep the analog transmitters online. Turning off analog means fewer viewers see the ads, so the ads are worth less.
Interesting question--who gets priority then? I.e., who is interfering with whom?
