Studio One features HDTV, grief counseling


Learn why many people are concerned about the rapid changes in television technology on the next edition of Studio One. The federal government requires that all televisions switch to digital formats, also known as high-definition television, by Feb. 27, 2009. Many consumers worry they will have to buy a new television as the date nears and, as a result, the sale of high definition televisions is on the rise. Find out how the switch to digital formats may affect many television owners.

Also on the show this week, everyone deals with death at least once in their life. Grief Counselor Glenda Trochmann recently started a local grief center. She shares the best ways to prepare and deal with the loss of a loved one.
