DTV Consumer Education Initiative

The Commission revised the location for filing Form 388, DTV Quarterly Activity Station Report. In the DTV Consumer Education Order the Commission sought to ensure widespread consumer understanding of the benefits and mechanics of the transition by promoting a coordinated, national DTV consumer education campaign. One facet of this campaign was the establishment of a requirement that broadcasters provide on-air information to their viewers about the DTV transition, by compliance with one of three alternative sets of rules, and report those efforts to the Commission and the public.
