Influential Senator Sees 2009 DTV Transition

Sen. Ted Stevens, chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, said at an industry conference Wednesday that he would like to see 2009 as the hard date for the transition to digital television. He went on to say that his committee would consider a bill to do just that on Oct. 19 and that it would include a provision to subsidize analog-to-digital tuners for those who can't afford to upgrade to digital TVs.
