Eric, Quote from Feb. 23 issue of Broadcasting & Cable editorial page: "The FCC released its revised list of digital TV channel assignment last week to the closest thing to rave reviews that government gets from industries these days. . . (several paragraphs deleted) Now that the table has been set, however, the several-billion-dollar question becomes what broadcasters will be serving up: HDTV, SDTV, multicasting, datacasting or some digital amalgam. Without waiting for that answer, many broadcasters must spend money for towers and antennas and transmitters and the other costly components that will propel them into the digital age. Implementing digital TV is a daunting task filled with uncertainties and budget-busting pleas from company technocrats. But broadcasters shouldn't shrink from it. In our 67-year watch, we have seen few investments in any form of broadcasting go bad."
