KDKA-TV reports that the U.S. Senate voted today to delay the switch from analog tv to digital tv until June 12. The House is working on similar legislation and the Obama administration is calling for the delay over concerns that too many Americans relying on over-the-air signals won’t be ready. The estimate is that 6.5 million households are not yet prepared for the switch.
