|
Effective Immediately Very Important Beginning Feb. 18, 2009, television stations will stop broadcasting analog signals. An older, nondigital television without cable or satellite service will need a special converter box to receive a picture. The boxes are expected to cost between $50 and $70. Each household can request two $40 coupons at no charge to help pay for the boxes. There are four ways to request a coupon: - Apply online at www.dtv2009.gov.

Welcome to the Mississippi Association of Broadcasters new website. This site is a resource for Mississippi Broadcasters by Mississippi Broadcasters. The enhanced Job Board allows broadcasters to post their own job openings. A "yellow-pages" style of listings make it easy to find local television and radio stations, as well as, local advertising agencies. Some of the areas of the new site are not completed so please pardon our continued work to make this the best MAB Site ever. Thank you for visiting.
