NAB: Have mercy during DTV rollouts

By Bill McConnell -- Broadcasting & Cable, 4/23/2003 4:00:00 AM

Broadcasters are urging more lenient treatment for TV stations as they try to comply with the digital-TV rollout.

Responding to proposals the Federal Communications Commission issued two months ago, the National Association of Broadcasters and other trade groups urged the FCC to let smaller-market and lower-revenue stations phase in digital-TV hours of operation.

Broadcasters awaiting permanent digital-TV assignments should not be forced to launch lower-power operations on temporary channels, they added.

The groups also reiterated calls to eliminate analog/digital simulcasting requirements during the transition and to establish technical requirements for receivers.
