Best Buy stops selling analog TVs
By
Best Buy Co. said Wednesday it has stopped selling analog televisions and pulled all remaining stock from its shelves, signalling the end of an era as consumers increasingly move toward digital products with flat-panel and high-definition screens.
Best Buy, one of the nation’s top electronics retailers, heralded the reign of digital TVs, saying it made the move “as the end of the analog broadcast era draws near.” Best Buy instructed stores to stop selling the products on Oct. 1. Beginning Feb. 18, 2009, broadcasters will stop transmitting analog signals.
