Ok, I'm totally 100% sick of hearing about the change to digital. From what I understand, less than 20 million U.S. households still receive their broadcasts exclusively over-the-air. That being the case, why the hell are we still talking about it? If you watch TV at all, then you know this big change is coming because IT'S BEEN ON EVERY NETWORK FOR THE PAST YEAR.
How much is the goverment spending on ad time for this business? We're talking about 20 million households- that's roughly how many households subscribe to SiriusXM, the number of households who use cell phones only (with no landline), the number of households who have no internet access, or roughly the amount of illegal immigrants currently estimated to reside in this country.
In other words, it's a relatively small number of people, and again, if you haven't heard about it by now, then you don't watch TV anyway. This kind of stuff is what keeps our government in a perpetual state of being out of dough.
Now though, our new President wants to delay the changeover because the funds have run out and people are still waiting on their coupons.
(Ignore the fact that the U.S. Government has dished out 24 million coupons and there are only 20 million houses that receive OTA transmissions)
Sigh.
