More than 1,000 American TV stations will end their analog broadcast signals and transition to digital signals today
They are joining about 760 stations that already made the switch since February. Congress decided to waste some more money and push out the deadline so they could spend another $650 million to educate the ignorant consumers who are still unprepared.
To prepare, users need to either sign up for cable or get a converter box. The FCC estimates that 12 per cent of Americans are still unprepared. I have no idea where they got those numbers and wonder if anyone in authority will follow up in a month to verify their chicken little forecasts.
