Senate Passes Digital Delay Again

The “on again, off again” Digital TV transition is off again. The Senate voted to postpone the transition date from February 17th until June 12th.

Representatives in the House were concerned about confusing consumers by moving dates and the cost local broadcasters would have to endure to keep the analog equipment running for another four months. Sources say the bill approved last night by the Senate is the same version the House tried to pass on Wednesday - only with a few tweaks by the House.
