March 9, 2009
3.8 million or 3.4% of U.S. TV households remain completely unready for the transition to all digital broadcast that will take place on June 12, 2009. That is an improvement more than 260,000 households in just two weeks. An update from the previous two weeks in March showed roughly 350,000 homes readying for the transition.
Among the 56 metered markets, which represent approximately 70% of all U.S TV households, Albuquerque-Santa Fe remains the least ready market with 9.4% completely unprepared. Dallas-Ft. Worth and Houston are next with 6.3% of TV households not yet ready. On the other end of the spectrum, Providence-New Bedford is now completely ready. Less than 1% of TV households in Hartford & New Haven are completely unready.
