NAB asks President Bush to appear in a DTV PSA

National Association of Broadcasters President David Rehr sent a letter to the White House this week saying broadcasters could use some Administration help in getting the word out about the Feb. 17, 2009 date for the end of full-power analog signals. In addition to asking President Bush and Vice President Cheney appearing in public service announcements, the NAB would like DTV transition postage stamp; requiring a DTV information Internet link on every government agency Website; DTV transition posters in Post Offices; and bill stuffers in Social Security checks and payroll statements. The FCC has already said it would get Post Offices to post DTV posters. The NAB is asking for an Administration effort on par with the Y2K campaign, saying broadcasters will need a similar effort if the DTV transition is to be successful.
