Many TV Stations Switching Despite Digital Delay : NPR

Many TV Stations Switching Despite Digital Delay : NPR "Despite a law delaying the switch to digital television until June, hundreds of TV stations are planning to turn off their analog signals on Tuesday, potentially leaving millions of unprepared viewers in the dark.
On Wednesday, President Obama signed a bill to delay the nationwide switch from analog to digital television to June 12. The long-planned switch was scheduled for Feb. 17, but a federal program to help subsidize the cost of digital-converter boxes with coupons ran out of money, leaving little time for consumers to get ready for the changeover."
