The future of television is bright and we want to ensure it stays that way. Congress is currently considering action as part of the debt and budget negotiations that could threaten your ability to view local free over the air television.
The federal government is making decisions about how the airwaves are used and these decisions would impact your ability to receive local news, public safety information and high-quality programs you currently get free and over the air.
This congressional action seeks to reallocate some T.V. channels through a process known as Spectrum Incentive Auctions.
We broadcasters are fighting to ensure any government decision about Spectrum do not deny TV viewers access to the great services they currently received and those advances in broadcasting on the horizon.
This debate is at a critical stage and broadcasters are asking you to take a stand and support free, local TV, by contacting your members of congress. To speak to your legislator you can call 1-800-200-4372, enter your zip code and stay on the line to be connected.
Ask them to protect local TV as they consider ways to allocate Spectrum.
Thank you for your help. I'm James Smith.
