What you should know before buying a radio with the TV band
What you should know before buying a radio with the TV audio band (2-13):
Congress passed a law that prevents television stations from broadcasting 
regular analog TV signals after February 17, 2009. Unfortunately this means 
the
TV audio band found on many consumer electronic radios will no longer be 
able to receive television broadcasts after that date or sooner. The other 
bands
such as AM, FM, shortwave, etc will work normally and are unaffected.
