The Federal Communications Commission has announced that in the town of Wilmington, N.C., the television market will complete its migration to digital television five months before the rest of the nation converts to DTV in February. The FCC concluded that on September 8, full-power commercial television broadcasters in Wilmington will have completed all the necessary steps to finalize their transition to digital.
“The digital television transition is on time and on track, and the FCC’s conclusion that the nation’s 135th television market in Wilmington is ready to transition early proves this,” says Jason Oxman, Senior Vice President, Industry Affairs, Consumer Electronics Association. "There are many easy and affordable digital TV options for any pocketbook –- from low-cost digital TV sets to very affordable converter boxes. CEA, together with its industry and government partners, is committed to getting the word out about these options to consumers in Wilmington and nationwide.”
