MORE ON DIGITAL T.V. SWITCHOVER (extra entry)

A few weeks ago, I wrote of Barack Obama's desire to DELAY the switchover to all Digital television broadcasting (and the end of all analog broadcast television). As we all know, the switchover is scheduled for Feb. 17, 2009. I JUST heard on the WRKO news that yesterday, the U.S. Senate voted to delay this change until June 12, 2009. President Obama has already indicated he will sign this. It's up to the U.S. House of Representatives. IF they vote for the delay, the changeover will not happen until June 12.

Again, after ALL that hysteria about Feb. 17, it probably won't take place on Feb. 17 after all!

The House of Representatives voted today (Wednesday, January 28) to KEEP the February 17 switchover date in place and NOT to delay the change to June. I'm surprised by the results of the vote, but it looks as though the switchover WILL take place on February 17 after all!
