Mr. Television Asks, Are You Ready?

From the book cover: Old Jewish Comedians by Drew Friedman

Tomorrow is D-Day! As in the switch to digital televison day and we hope everyone in Park Ridge is prepared!

The PRU Crew wrote about this topic in May 2008 in our post Mr. Television Wants You To Know! The original February 2009 deadline was delayed by the Obama administration, but tomorrow's deadline will be met.

Bloomberg.com reports "Beginning early in the morning and ending by midnight, 974 TV stations, including those in the largest cities, will stop sending the analog signals used since the birth of TV, according to the Federal Communications Commission."

Again we want to remind people if you know of a neighbor or friend who may be caught unawares or for whom the costs of the switch may be prohibitive, please check out the links provided below and see if you can lend a hand.

Good luck!
