Analog TV Broadcast Cut off

 In 2005, the U.S. Senate passed a budget bill that calls for over-the-air television stations to cease their analog broadcasts by 02-17-2009 (this cut-off date has been moved forward several times previously). Following that date, TVs and other equipment with legacy NTSC tuners would be unable to receive over-the-air broadcasts. This switch-off would cause tens of thousands of TVs to go dark and would cut off many lower-income viewers of their only source of television. Lawmakers have proposed subsidizing converter boxes that would allow people to receive the new digital broadcasts on their old TVs. Further details on the transition to digital and the converter-box subsidy are murky, and are a work-in-progress subject to the political process.
