Help in ordering converter box coupons

Call 12 for Action is lending a hand today to anyone who needs a digital converter box. If you do, you will want a converter box government coupon. They are free and we have an easy way for you to get one. It’s a special event on Thursday, November 20th.

If you have an older analog TV, and you're not planning to sign up for cable or satellite service, you will need a converter box when television goes all digital on February 17th next year-- that's just 3 months from now! So, how can you get your coupon?

Tonight we'll have volunteers here in the studio that will order your coupon for you. Just call 602-258-1212 between 4:30pm and 6:30pm tonight and we'll take your information, give it to the program administrators, and your $40 coupon will arrive in your mailbox in about 4 weeks.

Here's a problem: According to the Federal Government, more than 31 million coupons have been mailed nationwide but over 10 million have expired. And the transition takes place 90 days from today!

So, if you need a coupon, call tonight, and when it arrives go to a store near you and pick up a converter box. Whatever you do-- just don't wait. February, 17th is coming quickly and you don’t want to turn you TV on that day and find it doesn’t work.
