Book excerpt: On 17 February 2009, federal law requires all full-power television stations in the United States to cease analogue broadcasting, enabling the government to reclaim valuable spectrum that the broadcasters currently use for analogue broadcasts. This change, often referred to as the digital television (DTV) transition, requires action by broadcasters and consumers to ensure broadcast television signals are still available and viewable. The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) created a program to subsidise consumers' purchases of digital-to-analogue converter boxes. After the transition, households with analogue sets that rely on over-the-air broadcast signals must take action or they will lose television service, but some households might not be aware of this potential disruption.

Download or read book From Analog to Digital Television written by Dr. David K. Rehr and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was the largest and most important marketing campaign in the history of television - moving over thirty-four million American households from analog to digital over-the-air antenna television. Success meant seventy million televisions would continue to receive news, entertainment, and local events. Failure to succeed was unthinkable. This is the story of how the digital television transition (DTV) took place. It details how the campaign was initiated, the research-based strategy, the various interest groups engaged in educating their communities on how to transition so they would have continued access to television, and the behind-the-scenes tensions between the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), media companies, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the US Congress. The DTV campaign provides you with a detailed understanding of various communication tools and key insights into educating citizens on changing television technology in their homes, businesses, or anywhere a TV set could be turned on. The transition impacted all TV distribution channels, including cable, satellite, and over-the-air antenna television. The media companies involved in each distribution path had their own economic incentives to succeed, while also vying to improve their business at the expense of competitors. The transition extended through two presidential administrations, so you will read firsthand how politics, intrigue, and partisanship impacted this once in a lifetime technological change for America. Some of it is not pretty. This is a must-read for communicators, public relations experts, and those studying how to organize and execute a multipronged communications campaign with a strict deadline and immense consequence if not successful. You will learn specific lessons that will enable you to be more successful in your advocacy, communication, and public relation efforts.

The impending analogue switch-off will have a major impact on households all over the developed world. Digital Broadcasting considers the effects of digital television on the availability, price and nature of broadcast services in the Americas, Europe and Japan. It shows how this depends upon what platforms cable, satellite, fixed or wireless broadband countries have available for use and also upon government policies and regulatory interventions. The authors show how policies towards digital television are also closely linked with spectrum for example, whether to use spectrum released from analogue broadcasting for mobile communications or for broadcasting, including the newly developed mobile broadcasting. This is one of the key technological changes of the early 21st century and its development will affect many countries economies and societies.
