untrue. the FCC still permits low power analog stations. we run in to them every now and then on the road and even have a few here at home.
Then maybe you should correct Wikipedia.

Low-power stations, Class A stations and translators were required to shut down by 2015.

that's not been our experience. virtually all of the campgrounds and parks we've been to that offer cable have "analog" cable.
Surprising ! That is going to start fading and I expect soon. WOW in metro Detroit has been digital for 10+ years. Spectrum (Brighthouse) changed last year and I thought they were one of the few left. All digital cable is a great "revenue enhancer" because all though technicall not required, it scrambles all signals so a decoder box is required on each and every TV.
