The Grand Digital Television Fair will feature DTV experts from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Consumer Reports who will explain the process of the transition to digital television, the reason for the change, benefit to viewers, and provide tips for preparing for the transition with the smallest financial impact. The speakers’ exhibitions will take place several times during the fair, in a simple and accessible language to all. The DTV experts as well as representatives of Univision 33 will respond to audience questions on the transition in general, and how it will affect the Univision and TeleFutura stations in Phoenix.
