NAB Supports Analog Nightlight Bills

The National Association of Broadcasters TV board has voted to support bills that would allow broadcasters to continue to air emergency alerts and DTV switch information in analog for a few weeks after the DTV transition date of Feb. 17, 2009. The bills were introduced by Sen John D. Rockefeller (D-WV). and Rep Lois Capps (D-CA). Currently, broadcasters must pull the plug on analog by law.
