Small cable operators say they can't match the National Cable & Telecommunications Association's pledge to carry must-carry TV stations in analog and digital after the Feb. 17, 2009, digital-TV transition date if some cable programmers succeed in getting a Federal Communications Commission rule to that effect overturned. The reasons are capacity constraints and the cost of complying with the law.
