The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association is working to make sure you will continue to get a television signal after February 17th of 2009, when analog signals are shut off and broadcasts go digital.

Association members did their first of a series of community meetings at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau Monday afternoon.

They answered questions about digital TV, and gave a demonstration of a converter box, which is the least expensive way for many of you to make sure you'll continue to get TV signals.

If you watch TV using an antenna on an older set, and want to apply for a converter box, you can get up to two $40 coupons from the Federal Government.

The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association says about 23% of everyone in Wisconsin, and 26% of Marathon County residents rely on an antenna for television channels.

You can find to a link to much more information about the digital switchover, as well as the application for your digital converter coupons below.
