Chairman Henry A. Waxman released the following statement following today’s House vote on legislation to delay the nation’s digital TV transition.
"I am very disappointed the House Republicans blocked the DTV extension today in the House," said Chairman Waxman. "Their vote has wasted valuable time and will cause needless confusion for consumers. A clear majority in Congress supports postponing the transition and providing assistance to the millions of households that are unprepared. I am working with the Obama Administration and congressional leadership to explore all available options."
The legislation has the support of the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB), several broadcast networks, wireless companies, Consumers' Union, AARP, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, and public safety organizations.
