TV, Version 2.0

Most of us know by now that the world of broadcast television will change forever in February 2009 when analog signals will end, to be replaced by digital signals. What is probably less known is that the Federal Communications Commission will get a glimpse this week at how regular folks will handle the change to digital as Wilmington, North Carolina becomes the nation's first broadcast market to to all-digital.

There was a lot of discussion in class on who will win and who will lose in this changeover, and what the FCC can do to get the word out about exactly what will happen. We based our discussion on a recent Los Angeles Times article. (I was only able to link to the version of the story that appeared in an out-of-town newspaper.)
