Issue Position: Digital Television Transition

Issue Position

On June 12, 2009, the nation's broadcasters will begin transmitting 100% of their television signals in digital form. What does this mean to constituents in Arkansas? Can I watch the Razorback games? What do I need to know? How did we get to this point? This web-portal will begin to answer many of these critical questions to help you prepare for the coming digital television transition.

My office is committed to doing all we can to make sure the transition to digital television is as smooth as possible, and to ensure that consumers in Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley are prepared to make informed decisions in advance of the transition date, which is just over a year away. In the meantime, I invite you to consider the information presented in this brief FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) sheet and to explore the following links to organizations in the Federal government and private sector who are partners in ensuring a smooth transition.
