Must-change TV?: Heritage Event on Digital Television

by on October 13, 2005

If you find nothing on TV to watch next Wednesday afternoon, those of you in the DC area may want to come down to The Heritage Foundation at 12:30 for what should be an interesting discussion of the transition to digital television. WIth Congress planning to move legislation on key DTV issues–a hard date for return of the “old” spectrum, tuner subsidies, and must-carry to name a few, it should be a timely discussion as well. Participants include Peter Pitsch, high-tech’s man on DTV; Chuck Cooper, author of a new study arguing that must-carry may be the next Kelo taking; and the always-on Tom Hazlett of the Manhattan Institute.

Try to make it if you can. You can get details and RSVP here.
