FCC road show to help keep TVs from going dark

With just about five months left before analog televisions must make the transition to digital, the Federal Communications Commission is dispatching members throughout the country to personally get the word out before TV viewers are left in the dark. FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein swung through the Bay Area Wednesday and Thursday to speak at a handful of community meetings aimed at reaching at-risk communities. Commissioner Adelstein said the road show, in which the five commissioners will visit more than 80 cities, is a recognition that the commission is behind in alerting TV viewers about the transition.
