ABC to Provide Analog after Digital Transition – Settling debates and taking responsibility

You ve certainly seen the commercials warning you that if you still rely on rabbit ears to get your television signal then you re going to be out of luck when the forced migration to digital TV happens next year. Some of those commercials also let you know that if you have cable television, you ll be all right because it s the responsibility of the cable TV provider to make sure that you can still get your channels. But there s been a lot of debate behind the scenes as to just how the cable companies are going to do that for you.

“Cable operators are required by the Federal Communications Commission to make a viewable signal available to their customers after the transition, which, in some cases, will mean downconverting a digital signal to analog for subscribers who have not made the switch to digital cable. One question that has remained open is just who is responsible for providing the viewable feed.”

ABC has agreed to take responsibility for providing that analog feed via wireline to their analog cable customers for up to one year after the transition. The decision is pending agreement by local cable operators.
