House May Vote on DTV 'Nightlight' Bill

The Short-Term Analog Flash and Emergency Readiness (SAFER) Act may see a vote in the House after all. The bill would allow broadcasters to continue to deliver analog signals for a brief period following the Feb. 17, 2009 cut-off date. Broadcasters would be allowed to air emergency information and DTV education information for any viewers still trying to watch analog TV in a digital world. A companion bill has already passed in the Senate.
