On February 18, 2009, all analog television broadcasting in the United States ceases, and is replaced by digital television (DTV). Many problems accompany this DTV conversion in the United States -- bad planning, little public knowledge, insufficient funds, and poor government and industry response to the public interest.

This website, DTVredalert.org, is a project of Chicago Media Action, and is intended to help provide a public-oriented perspective to the DTV conversion and its aftermath.

The DTV Transition in the U.S. stands to affect tens of millions of people across the United States. Given this scale, there are a number of entities who bear responsibility for the negative consequences, including the following:

The National Association of Broadcasters (the lobby of U.S. commercial broadcasters)
1771 N St., NW
Washington, DC 20036

The Federal Communications Commission
445 12th Street, SW
Washington, DC 20554

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration
1401 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20230

Of course, interested persons in the U.S. should also notify their representatives in the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate.
