Kind of a stretch to say that the transition needs to be delayed
because of a lack of tower crews for redundant transmitters and antennae.
There have been about 10 years to install the gear. The real crunch
was with the first phase.
It's true that all commercial stations were to have begun DTT
transmissions no later than May 1, 2002 and even non-commercial stations
by the following year, but there is a large number of stations on
out-of-core assignments (WCBS-DT in New York, for example, is on channel
56), and there is a large number that will be shifting DTT to their
analog channel post-transition. So there is substantial RF work that
cannot take place until the transition. The idea of this being a
problem due to limited crews is not unique to broadcasters. Harris made
a big point of it at their pre-NAB press conference last month.
TTFN,
