ABC stations will continue to air an analog signal after the transition to digital after all, but only for use by analog cable customers.

ABC said Monday that subject to agreements with the local cable operators involved, it would make a standard-definition, 4/3 aspect ratio analog feed of its 10 owned TV stations available to cable operators for at least one year after the transition to digital TV in February 2009.
