On December 23, 2008, the President signed into law the Short-Term
Analog Flash and Emergency Readiness (SAFER) Act. This legislation,
previously passed by the House of Representatives on Dec. 10, 2008 and
by the Senate on Nov. 20, 2008, directs the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”) to develop a program to permit analog broadcasts of
public safety and digital television (“DTV”) transition information for
30 days after the February 17, 2009 DTV transition deadline.
Accordingly, stations must await action by the FCC before this
post-February 17, 2009 authority will be effective.

The next FCC Form 388 DTV Quarterly Activity Station Report must be
filed via CDBS and placed in stations’ local public inspection files by
January 10, 2009, reflecting information for the months of October,
November and December 2008.
As we have previously advised, on March 3, 2008 the FCC released a
Report and Order outlining new requirements for the education of
consumers regarding the February 17, 2009 transition to digital
television service. As a result of this Public Notice, stations were
required to ensure that they elected one of the compliance “Options”
contained in the Report and Order and began airing DTV consumer
education announcements pursuant to their chosen “Option” no later than
Monday, March 31, 2008.

The head of the Federal Communications Commission sharply disagreed
Saturday with President-elect Barack Obama’s call to delay the
scheduled switchover to all-digital television next month, warning that
pushing back the transition would confuse Americans and put wireless
companies at a significant disadvantage.
During a question-and-answer session at the International Consumer
Electronics Show, the commission’s chairman, Kevin J. Martin,
acknowledged that “ultimately, this is Congress’ decision.” But “we’ve
spent a lot of time and energy getting ready for the February 17 date,”
he said. “I am concerned about the consumer confusion that would be
created.”
