"The nation’s broadcasters may not complete their long-awaited switch to all-digital TV next month, after all.
On Thursday President-elect Barack Obama’s transition team urged Congress to extend the Feb. 17 cutoff date for analog broadcasting, injecting new uncertainty into a switch that has confused customers and cost the government more than $1.3 billion in subsidies.
Several television networks and high-ranking Democrats supported Mr. Obama’s proposal, although it remains unclear whether a change will be made."
The perfect example of how the government is incapable of getting absolutely ANYTHING done. This has been going on for almost a dozen years, and we have put off the conversion 3 or 4 times for the last 5 or 6 years. Makes you wonder.....
