McCain Advances 2008 Analog Cutoff

During a debate on the Senate floor on the budget bill, Sen John McCain (R-AZ) offered an amendment designed to end analog television April 7, 2008, one year sooner than the cutoff date approved by the Senate Commerce Committee two weeks ago. Sen McCain wants to speed delivery of broadcast spectrum to emergency officials.

The Senate will vote on the amendment today or tomorrow.
