These writers can't even get basic facts straight...
"derail the biggest broadcasting transition since color television."
Considering that NTSC color is compatible with all of the monochrome sets in use then and now, and considering that they didn't "shut off" black and white TV, that statement is outright wrong. Color TV was not a transition. It was an adjunct...a compatible enhancement.
As for the story it's in...the LPTV licensees could go ahead and convert to digital and solve their own problem. Nothing is stopping them, and there are already 210 licensed digital translators and LPTVs on the air with 1266 granted but not yet built construction permits and 403 applications pending. -- Toolmaster of La Grange. |
