House Defeats Bill to Delay Digital TV Switch (nyt 28/1): «Two days after the Senate unanimously approved a four-month delay of the digital television transition, the House of Representatives did not pass the same proposal on Wednesday, “leaving the current Feb. 17 deadline intact for now,” the Associated Press reports.»
«“The 258-168 vote failed to clear the two-thirds threshold needed for passage in a victory for GOP members,” according to the A.P.
«The legislation’s failure means that the nation’s television stations will have to switch from analog to digital broadcasting by Feb. 17, unless Congress takes other steps to delay the transition.
«House Democrats may bring the bill up for a regular floor vote next week. That vote would only require majority support to pass. “Wednesday’s vote took place under a special procedure that required two-thirds support for passage,” the A.P. reported.»
