Obama Will Sign DTV Delay Bill
February 1, 2009
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs says President Barack Obama will sign a bill to give consumers more time to get ready for the switch from analog to digital television broadcasts. The switch under current law is set for Feb. 17. Gibbs said Obama will sign the bill because he wants more time to ensure that people don't lose their television signals.
