View Full Version : Another Extension?
My spies tell me (and I'm hearing this third hand) that the June 12 analog shut off date is not set in stone. There may be another extension for analogs. Something to do with not having the funding for the "Gubbment" cards to subsidize converter box purchases. Anyone else heard this?

I haven't, but would it surprise me? Uh-uh.
Also wouldn't surprise me if somewhere there's still a TV station running on channel 77 in a town where Uncle Joe couldn't afford to get one of those newfangled color TV sets that only go up to channel 69.

Just heard a news report saying that "Gubbment" funding for the converter box cards would be available in about 2 1/2 weeks. There are supposed to be 2 million people waiting for the cards. Let the games begin...again.
