No, it's serious... they want everybody to switch to digital TV (which uses a different frequency space) so a) they can stop broadcasting on both frequencies and b) they can sell off the existing analog frequencies to well-heeled corporate interests. But as Jebediah says they've delayed it before--I think the original deadline was 2007 or something like that.
