Get mad, professional-college basketball fans: the genius Congresspoops have pegged the drop-dead date for analog TV transmission as February 17, 2009, before the FINAL FOUR!
Not to worry -- Uncle Sucker will spend $1.5 billion to bail you out with set-top boxes. While the Congressional Budget Office has estimated that setting a digital transition date in 2009 would generate $10 billion, at least three analyses by private groups have pegged the value of the analog frequencies at $20 billion to $28 billion. Meaning none of those, and probably closer to zero.
