The White House issued a statement by the President encouraging those who rely on over-the-air broadcasts as their only means of receiving a television signal to take advantage of all the assistance the government is providing to help them switch to digital programming. The statement also reinforced that there will be no further delay in the nationwide transition to digital television, which will occur on June 12.

New research from Knowledge Networks shows that the transition to digital television has directly impacted media technology in one out of four (26%) U.S. TV households during the past year, as people invest in new TV sets and/or services to prepare for the June 12th changeover.
