According to KDLT Chief Engineer Don Sturzenbecher, the station has invested $2 million in the conversion so far and estimates it will spend at least 3 million more.
Sioux Falls is currently getting a digital signal. The Mitchell area is next this summer.
Beginning New Year's Day, the government will take requests for $40 coupons that can be applied toward the digital converter box.
According to dtvfacts.com, the boxes will cost $60. With that coupon, it is expected to set consumers back $20.
The coupons go out to customers February 17th, exactly one year from the switch.
Each household will be able to request up to two $40 coupons for the converter boxes.
Those in the market for a digital converter box will be able to buy them coming up in 2008 at thousands of stores nationwide.
