I don't know why this makes me so mad, but it does. (www.tvweek.com)

I hope a bunch of stations just cut over anyway. That'll make the point to people -- nm - ty97 Feb 5, 09:38
So 95% *ARE* ready and it's still being delayed? - Cuzzin Todd Feb 5, 09:35 1
- and what do they care? I bet a large percentage of the 5% don't vote anyway. -- nm - Dano Feb 5, 09:36
Screw 'em! They had plenty of time to get a box. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 09:29 4
- Now they'll have 4 more months to not get a box! -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 09:30 1
  - Exactly. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 09:31

I was watching PBS newshour earlier, they said a 6-month delay switching will cost them $22 million. - mafic Feb 5, 09:27
I'm beyond caring about them now. Cut it, fuck 'em. It's just TV. -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 09:25 1
- Word. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 09:26
Prediction: 4.8% will be unready when we delay it to June -- nm - Strongbad Feb 5, 09:24 1
- 5.8%. - Spawn Feb 5, 09:27
That seems like a really good number to me. I would have expected a double-digit percentage if I just had to guess. -- nm - Shaun Feb 5, 09:23 2
- Yup - when you rephrase it to say "Nearly 95% of the nation is ready for the switch," I don't get why they're delaying it. - JaxSean Feb 5, 09:25 1
  - I'd think you'd hit more than the rim with 95% penetration -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Feb 5, 09:29
