Site History

DTV Transition
DTV Transition Coalition
The DTV Transition Coalition includes some heavy-hitters in the broadcast and consumer electronics industries. The coalition's founding members include:
- Association for Maximum Service Television (MSTV)
- Association of Public Television Stations (APTS))
- Consumer Electronics Association (CEA))
- Consumer Electronics Retailers Coalition (CERC)
- Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (LCCR)
- LG Electronics
- National Association of Broadcasters (NAB)
- National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA)
The coalition set up a PR
myspace page on Friday, September 28, 2007. Now, one month from the original analog cutoff date of February 19, 2009, they appear to have only attracted 2 myspace friends--one of which is Tom, the other yours truly.
