FCC staff in Pender county to answer DTV questions

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
staff will be located at sites throughout Pender County to answer
questions about the digital television transition and sign-up area residents for the converter box coupon, which provides a $40 discount on eligible converter boxes. 

People who do not have cable or
satellite service and have analog-only television sets need a converter
box to continue watching most television stations after the
Wilmington-area early switch to digital service. The sites are:
