Re: Some stations plan digital switch despite delay vote said by fifty nine:But they require FCC approval, so the FCC can say yea or nay. Missed that --- problem with scanning rather than throughly reading.
On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission ordered stations that still plan to turn off analog signals on Feb. 17 to notify the FCC by Monday.
Acting Chairman Michael Copps said the commission could prohibit stations from making the switch if doing so is not in the public interest.
For instance, if all stations in a market want to turn off early, that would draw FCC scrutiny, he said at a commission meeting. |
