After all the hype, all the warnings from local TV stations and all the worry amongst nursing home residents who still catch Wheel of Fortune through rabbit ears, today the United States Senate passed a bill to delay the nationwide switch to digital TV signals. The move was pushed back from Feb. 17 to June 12.
In case you haven't read about the switch numerous times online or in print, haven't been harassed by your cable carrier or haven't ventured out of the house in two years, today's news means you now have about four months to prepare. So, mark your calendars. Maybe.
UPDATE: The House defeated the bill today, since many members of the GOP opposed President Barack Obama's legislation. As of right now, the digital switch will take place as planned - on Feb. 17.
