Mark Frink 03/16/09 02:03 PM, 0 CommentsWhile Congress voted in February to extend the deadline to June 12, 2009 for U.S. television stations to covert to all-digital transmission (DTV), the transition is well underway, with digital transmission already common in major markets. There’s also a movement to provide analog “nightlight” broadcasts, providing a looped “infomercial” to the 30 million who can still only receive analog TV. Thus what we’re left with: digital transmissions have begun while analog also continues in many markets, and it all could… View this story
