Lamborn Statement on Digital TV Delay

April 6, 2009

Washington

"I am disappointed the conversion to digital television has been delayed. No matter when you set the cutoff date, not everyone will be ready.

"Additionally, this delay negatively impacts our communications forhomeland security. First responders and law enforcement personnel are waiting to use the analog bandwidth that will become available when broadcasters switch to digital signals.

"Who is to say there will not be pressure to delay the conversion date again when the new deadline hits in June?" – Congressman Doug Lamborn (CO-05)
