NAB Throws Support Behind Analog Extension Bill
The National Association of Broadcasters' Television Board of Directors threw its support behind legislation that could extend the analog shut-off date for TV stations beyond the nation's digital TV transition for purposes of emergency information and DTV education and outreach.

The legislation in question would provide for a voluntary extension of analog broadcasting beyond the February 2009 date. In a resolution adopted by the NAB television board Wednesday, the group said it would support the measure "only to provide additional time for consumers to be educated about the digital TV transition and receive emergency information."

The board statement added, "This voluntary commitment would apply only to stations where the continuation of the analog signal is technically feasible. The NAB will work closely with the Federal Communications Commission in implementing a reasonable program taking into account local stations' technology and market specifics."

The legislation extending the analog shut-off date was recently introduced by Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.) and Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.).
