Markey Marks DTV Milestone

MARKEY MARKS DTV MILESTONE
[SOURCE: Representative Edward J. Markey (D-MA)]
It was twenty years ago today | Sgt. Markey taught the FCC to play | They've been going in and out of style | But they're guaranteed to raise a smile... yada yada yada. House Telecommunications Subcommittee Chairman Ed Markey (D-MA) marked the 20th anniversary of Congress' first hearing on digital television noting that "the DTV transition picture I see today is fuzzy at best. I fear that far too few consumers know about the February 17, 2009 analog cut-off and the steps they must take to watch free, over-the-air television after that date. If we are going to make sure that millions of Americans don't see their perfectly functional analog televisions go dark, Congress needs to start getting better reception from the parties who are responsible for making sure this digital transformation is a success." Chairman markey will oversee two hearings on the DTV transition in October "to explore efforts by government and industry to ensure that all Americans enjoy the benefits of DTV."
