It's official!
President Barack Obama has signed the legislation that postpones the digital television transition until June 12 according to our sources.
In a statement released this afternoon, the President says "During these challenging economic times, the needs of American consumers are a top priority of my administration."
"This law, which was crafted in a bipartisan way and passed overwhelmingly in the House and Senate, ensures that our citizens will have more time to prepare for the conversion," he added.
As previously mentioned, WKYC will wait until June 12th to shut off our analog signal for over the air viewers. This appears the case with most all other Cleveland/Akron/Canton television stations in our local market.
