DTV Delay?

I normally don’t talk about issues that relate to work but…  It seems as though, with less than 30 days to go, Congress is now trying to delay the DTV transition.  Honestly, why?  It’s been promoted, we’ve run crawls, PSA, etc. for a year or more to make sure people know about this date.  So why change it now?  If people don’t truly know about the transition, what makes you think they will in June?  And also, what about all of the TV stations that budgeted 2009 with February 17th as the date where they’d start to see a MAJOR decrease in their electric bill?  What about them?  Is Congress going to pay the difference until June?

Moving the DTV transition date, is a BAD idea.  Seriously.

Agreed. The news about this has been going on for years. People know about the rebate program. If they don't, I'm sure they'll call the station when they can't 'watch their stories' and find out about it then.Unfortunately, this means lots of calls for receptionists and customer service workers, but we need to just be done with it already.
