FCC Targets TV Stations Ending Analog

By Kim Hart

The Federal Communications Commission has told the owners of 123 TV stations that had planned to go ahead with the switch to digital broadcasts next week that they cannot do so unless they can show that consumers in their viewing areas will not be left in the dark.

FCC Targets TV Stations Ending Analog
On Monday, nearly 500 TV stations told the FCC they intended to make the switch to digital broadcasts on Feb. 17, the deadline that had been mandated by the government. Congress postponed the deadline last week to June 12, citing concerns that many people were unprepared for the move to digital. Broadcasters who spent years preparing for next week's deadline were given the option of moving ahead, but the FCC said it reserved the right to prevent stations from switching if it posed a public safety threat to particular markets.
