News article 1

So the switch to digital has been delayed to June 12. Thank goodness, because there were so many questions about the whole thing on so many different levels it was making ME nervous, and I don't even care!

What will the elderly do? Will station ratings go down because of the confusion? Why did Hawaii already switch to digital last month? What about the coupons, the converter boxes, etc.?

The Nielsen Company estimated that about 6.5 million households still don't have TVs equipped for digital. But, will this delay confuse people further? Despite the extension, will people still be confused. I'm getting confused just writing about the whole thing.

The point is, whether we like it or not, THE SWITCH IS COMING. June 12.
