On Wednesday Dec. 17, stations in the Providence-New Bedford market area will help prepare viewers for the transition to digital TV. WJAR, WLNE, WNAC, WPRI & WSBE will simultaneously run five half-hour educational programs during the following times: 11 am-11:30 am, 12:30 pm-1 pm, 4:30 pm-5 pm, 7:30 pm - 8 pm and 9:30 pm-10pm. The educational programs will only be seen on television sets that are not DTV prepared and will include information on how to obtain converter boxes, install them and prepare for the analog signal cut-off, on Feb. 17. For more information, viewers can call the Rhode Island Broadcasters Association 401-255-8200 or the Federal Communications Commission at 888-225-5322. Consumers are eligible for $40 coupons to defray the expense of digital converter boxes. To apply for coupons, go to www.DTV2009.gov, or call 888-388-2009. Hearing-impaired users can call a TTY line at 877-530-2634.
