The FCC noted 317450 calls on Friday, 102000 by Saturday, with overall demand below earlier expectations. FCC staff remain on call through June to assist households whose sets falter, while community centers like Mercy Center in the Bronx provide extra help.

Six Flags seeks Chapter 11 protection to shed debt
Six Flags files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in New York to reorganize and shed 1.8 billion dollars of debt while saying operations at 20 parks in the U.S. Mexico and Canada will continue. CEO Mark Shapiro notes 2008 was strong with 25 million visitors and record revenues, even as the debt load remains unsustainable and an earlier out of court deal failed.
