- The U.S. Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) announced on Monday the finalized specifics of its coupon program that will subsidize U.S. consumers' purchases of converter boxes, so they remain able to receive signals on their analog TVs once analog broadcasts are ceased on Feb. 1, 2009.
