said by RadioDoc:It was Bush's NTIA that screwed the coupon program pooch, so maybe you can knock off the childish partisan sniping and concentrate on facts:
There are about six million unfilled coupon requests pending. That is why the deadline was extended.
You could have allocated more funds for the coupons with extending the deadline. Besides since some stations are of already what was the point. If someone lives in Nashvile say half the statin havethier analog shut off. So if they are waiting for a box they are losing half their channels anyways until their coupons rach then which may take weeks. I susoect most people will just go out and buy a box as to not lose half the stations.
