                              HDTV CONTROVERSY      

    Here is an article about the controversy that has erupted vis-a-vis
implementation of HDTV.  The stations that are already on-the-air, with DTV, are broadcasting the FCC Mandated 8-VSB system.  Sinclair Broadcast has challenged the standard and wants the industry to broadcast COFDM.

         The 70 stations already of the air would have to convert to COFDM (at an additional cost).  The MSTV (Maximum Service TeleVision) group is opposing the switch.
