1. The Short-term Analog Flash and Emergency Readiness Act ("Analog
Nightlight Act" or
"Act")1 requires the Commission to develop and implement a program by
January 15, 2009, to
"encourage and permit" continued analog TV service after the February 17,
2009 DTV transition date,
where technically feasible, for the purpose of providing "public safety
information" and "DTV transition
information" to viewers who may not obtain the necessary equipment to
receive digital broadcasts after
the transition date. In this way, the continued analog service would serve
like a "nightlight" to unprepared
viewers, assuring that these viewers continue to have access to emergency
information and guiding them
with information to help them make a belated transition. This Notice
describes the procedures the
Commission intends to follow to implement the Act; the nature of the
programming permitted by the Act;
and the stations that are eligible to participate in the Analog Nightlight
program. Stations that are eligible
under the Act to provide nightlight service may choose to provide their own
service on their analog
channels, or may choose to work with other stations in their community to
provide a comprehensive
nightlight service on one or more analog channels in that community.
Stations that cannot broadcast their
own nightlight service can participate in a joint nightlight effort together
with other stations in their
community by providing financial, technical, or other resources.
