Four more months of these ads? For shame!
On Wednesday afternoon, the House of Representatives voted to delay the transition to digital broadcast television by a margin of 264 to 158. Only a simple majority was needed, which means the new official date for the nationwide switch to digital television is now June 12, nearly four months after the original date of February 17.
The delay will give more time to the estimated 6.5 million citizens completely out of it people who are still unprepared for the transition despite three-plus years of preparation by government and broadcasters.
