This year’s NAB convention will offer a series of sessions and panels focusing on the upcoming transition to digital television.
"The Buck Stops Here! DTV Transition Best Practices," a joint session by the NAB and the Association for Maximum Service Television (MSTV), will address critical issues facing broadcast stations, including consumer education, tower work, equipment purchases, FCC approvals and coordination with cable and satellite companies.
The session, scheduled for Monday, April 14, is a town hall-style forum that will be moderated by former FCC Chairman Richard Wiley and MSTV President David Donovan.
The convention also will feature a "DTV Trekker," a 20ft customized truck designed to look like a television. The Trekker is part of the NAB's traveling road show to bring information about the DTV transition to viewers across the country.
