Sen. McCain Wants 2008 DTV Transition

Sen. John McCain has introduced an amendment on the Senate floor that would cut off analog TV broadcasting on April 7, 2008 -- one year sooner than the 2009 deadline recently passed by the Senate Commerce Committee. McCain tried to get a 2007 deadline passed by the committee but it failed by a wide margin, so he is hoping that pushing it back a year might garner more support.
