Warning labels proposed for analog TV sets

Posted by Cory Bergman on January 23, 2007

Some top House Republicans want to slap warning labels on analog TV sets that read, “This TV has only an analog broadcast tuner and will require a converter box after Feb. 17, 2009, to receive over-the-air broadcasts.” The proposed bill would also require broadcasters to file regular reports with the FCC detailing their consumer education efforts. The NAB has endorsed the legislation.
