New item: Digital TV transition period extended. (USA Today)

One observation in reading the papers this morning: the digital TV story is played up in some papers and barely visible in others.

Without doing any scientific review of this, it seems that editors are responding to the likelihood that their readers are affected. The papers in big urban markets generally seem to be burying the story. Cable TV subscription rates are typically high in big cities. Papers in poorer areas or rural markets seem to have recognized that more of their readers are truly at risk of losing their TV signals in the looming transition from analog to digital transmission.
