House votes Wednesday to delay DTV transition

By David Johnson 

The political maneuvering to delay the analog-to-digital broadcast transition is a lesson in the minutiae of the legislative process. A new vote is scheduled for Wednesday that is likely to pass with a simple majority, instead of the two-thirds required to pass the previous bill. The new deadline will move the transition from February 17th to June 12th.

Update: Congress approved the delay to June 12th
