Digital TV Delay
Only Rep. Dan Boren, D-Muskogee, voted today to delay the transition to digital TV until June. Currently, over-the-air broadcasts are scheduled to cease in about three weeks.
Though a majority in the House voted for the delay, the bill fell short of the necessary two-thirds approval, since it was brought up under an expedited process.
Reps. Tom Cole, R-Moore; Mary Fallin, R-Oklahoma City; Frank Lucas, R-Cheyenne; and John Sullivan, R-Tulsa, voted against delaying the switch to digital.
