Legislature pushes for another DTV transition delay

April 1, 2009 Off By An Editor


Just when you thought that the transition to digital TV would finally take place by June 12th, you might want to sit down. According to sources in Washington, both leaders in the U.S. House and Senate are looking at ways to delay the DTV transition AGAIN until December 25th. Yes folks, December 25th is Christmas believe it or not. The legislation could also force all TV stations who have already converted to digital to convert back to analog until December 25 because as one house member said “TV station owners are just like kids, they just couldn’t wait until Christmas to make the switch. So that’s their problem to switch back, not ours.” I mean come on, enough is enough as far as I’m concerned. Do we really need to extend the DTV transition ANY LONGER?!?
