[Chairman on screen:]

Wilmington, is your TV ready for digital?

Hello, I'm Chairman Kevin Martin of the Federal Communications Commission. The Wilmington area is pioneering the nation's transition to digital broadcasting. Starting September 8th, TV stations serving Pender, Brunswick, Bladen, New Hanover, and Columbus counties will broadcast only in digital. Your TV needs to be ready so you can keep watching.

If your TV is ready, you can get the benefits of digital broadcasting today!

But don't delay or…
