Should be.
"... then there are people who weren't ever told they had to get a VHF antenna."
Even better:
"... Despite losing viewers and complaints to the FCC many stations never to inform their viewers they would need a VHF antenna to continue watching their channel. All this despite millions spend on the transition followed by their loss of advertising revenue." |
If it were from some local news outlet, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt for not knowing enough about that, but this is multichannel.com we're talking about here.
Edit: Wait now that I remember, the
FCC did tell people about UHF to VHF Piggie! 1 week before the
digital transition!

The UHF to VHF switch should have had it's own transition rather than switch on June 12. That way the
FCC could have had time to prepare everyone for that too. Just my $.02.
Less advertising throughout
