Below is an e-mail I sent to the local CBS station ([email protected]), we should do a mass mailing like this to every station in the country.
Dear KPIX:
Thank you and CBS for the amount of program you simulcast on HDTV, considering there's only a tiny percentage of the population who has the setup to receive it, but we treasure every moment of these broadcasts.
I suggest you devote segments of your local newscast to talk about HDTV: what equipment is needed, what shows are in HD, what are the costs, etc. Stress that anyone buying a new TV should go digital, widescreen, and buy an HD tuner at the same time. It now costs no more than a top-of-line regular TV.
The general public knows practically zero about these broadcasts, only YOU can let them know. Let's keep this fantastic new technology going.
Sincerely,
_______________
