The FCC identified target television markets for specific DTV outreach, including all those markets 
in which more than 100,000 households or at least 15% of the households rely solely on over-the-air 
signals for television reception.  The five FCC Commissioners and senior Commission staff will 
visit these and other markets to raise awareness and educate consumers in the days leading up to the 
DTV transition on February 17, 2009. 
Reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities are available upon request. Include a 
description of the accommodation you will need with as much detail as possible. Also include a way 
we can contact you if we need more information. Please provide as much advance notice as 
possible; last minute requests will be accepted, but may be impossible to fill. Send an e-mail to
