Bruce A. Johnson

A 1981 graduate of the Boston University College of Communication, Bruce A. Johnson got his first job in broadcast television at WFTV, an ABC affiliate in Orlando, FL. While there, he rose through the ranks from teleprompter operator to videographer, editor, producer and director of many different types of programming. It was in the early 1980's that he bought his first computer - a Timex/Sinclair 1000 - a device he hated so much, he promptly exchanged it for an Atari 400. But the bug had bitten hard.

In 1987, Johnson joined Wisconsin Public Television in Madison as a videographer/editor, and still works there to the present day. His responsibilities have grown, however, and now include research and presentations on the issues surrounding the digital television transition, new consumer technology and the use of public television spectrum in homeland security. He freelances through his company Painted Post MultiMedia, and has written extensively for magazines including DV and Studio Monthly.

Tomorrow Is The Day

The End Of US Analog TV

I’m sure all the PVC faithful have gotten pretty tired of my rants about digital TV and how it will warp your mind, curve your spine and lost the war for the Allies.  Well, good for you folks, because tomorrow - June 12 - is the day.

Of course, there are a lot of people still worried about the end of analog TV.  Here’s a pretty good article from Wired on the subject.  If you get some frantic phone calls from your less-technical family and neighbors on Saturday AM, don’t be surprised.  And visit www.antennaweb.org to figure out where to point that spindly pile ‘o metal rods you’ll be installing on Sunday morning!
