Broadcasters to Test Digital TV Transition on Thursday

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on May 20, 2009 - 12:47pm.
Washington - The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will test the nation's readiness for the digital TV transition tomorrow, temporarily broadcasting an informational message to consumers whose sets still need to be upgraded to digital. The tests will range from two to five minutes in length, and will be conducted up to three times during the course of the day. Some 950 stations have yet to transition to digital; Nielsen estimates some 3.3 million households are still unprepared for the switchover on June 12.
