Charleston/Huntington Market Unready

So far I have had 4 coupons that I have not used.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Federal Communications Commission says many Charleston-area television viewers are unprepared for the June 12 switch to digital broadcasting.

The FCC has identified the Charleston-area market as a transition hotspot because viewers with analog televisions not hooked up to cable, satellite or converter boxes will lose service after the switch.

The FCC says about half of the more than 162,000 residents from Charleston to Huntington who ordered coupons for digitial-to-analog converter boxes have not redeemed them.

Whose fault is it now???

I blame WSAZ. They should run the Spanish language PSA on how to
Hook up a converter box on the cable channels so our Spanish speaking friends
who are visiting or have stolen a cable box could learn how to do it.
Marina is fluent in Croatian so she could explain to the Chetniks and Ustache
among us about converter boxes.

Market leader, indeed.
