The Search is on for America's "Rabbit Ears Pioneers"

5/1/2008 CEA Press Release:

The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) ® and the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) today launched a nationwide contest to help over-the-air viewers make the switch to digital television. The “Rabbit Ears Pioneers” competition will search for the most interesting stories, memories and anecdotes from individuals who receive over-the-air broadcast TV signals using an antenna on an older analog television set. The contest is designed to encourage “Pioneers” to prepare in advance of the February 17, 2009 deadline, when all full-power stations in the U.S. must begin broadcasting exclusively in a digital format.

Entertainer Florence Henderson, best known for her role as Carol Brady on TV’s “The Brady Bunch,” announced the contest today, during promotional appearances that encourage Baby Boomers to make sure their older relatives and friends are ready for the transition from analog to digital broadcasting. Full contest entry details can be found at www.antenna web.org .

Entrants are asked to nominate their favorite “Rabbit Ears Pioneers” with a photo and short essay about why they enjoy broadcast TV, when they bought their TV set and to recount their favorite TV show memories.
