I got a National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) spammed press release about digital TV converter coupons in the States. I thought I’d pass along the news anyway, but my copy of the release was truncated and no website was given for further details. A blog has the full release though.
The coupons are an effort to keep over-the-air TV broadcasts free for people who own a traditional analog TV set.
The email came from an @crosbyvolmer.com address.

Spam sucks. However in this case this information is extremely important. I know a lot of people who still use bunny ears and do not have cable. These people need to know what to do. I get a lot of spam from public relations firms (over 175 firms) but have never received a release or any contact from Crosby-Volmer. I would not consider receiving something like this spam but information that I need in order to educate my readers. This thing is huge y2k didn’t happen, this is going to happen. This might seem like a stretch but think about it?

By the way, I did contact Crosby-Volmer and got the release. The website is dtvanswers.com.
