TV DTV education report

TAB?s FCC legal counsel, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, advises TV stations are required to report on their third ?calendar quarter? 2008 efforts on FCC Form 388 which must be electronically filed through the CDBS system.

On March 3, the FCC released a Report and Order outlining new requirements for the education of consumers regarding the Feb. 17, 2009 DTV 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 March 31.
