On Friday, local community organizations will gather at the Midtown Global Market to assist the Twin Cities community in the transition to DTV.
The group is also calling on local retailers to join together to provide a ‘no-cost box’ solution for Minnesotans.
The event will start at 2 p.m. at 920 East Lake street in Minneapolis and will help connect individuals in the community who are unprepared for the digital switch.
Local community organizations are partnering to help their communities apply for government coupons and providing television hook-up demonstrations in English, Spanish, Hmong and Lao.
Mosquito Productions, a local retailer from Blaine, will be on site to provide a no-cost converter box for people who already have the $40 coupons.
This DTV Day of Action is a nationally coordinated effort by the Media Action Grassroots Network.
