Digital Television Transition (DTV)
The Digital Television Transition is the nationwide, Congressionally mandated switch from analog to digital broadcast set to occur on February 17, 2009.
The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissions (NARUC), of which the NC Utilities Commission is a member, has agreed to become a partner with the DTV Transition coalition. The coalition is a group of private and public organizations working to assure a successful transition to digital television. NARUC has developed a website to serve as a compendium of DTV-related information. To learn more about Digital Television Transition, please visit http://www.naruc.org/DTV/
