Congress and a bankruptcy court judge will review the fate of almost 800 Chrysler LLC dealers scheduled to close next week as part of the auto maker's restructuring.

Next Friday will be the last day that television stations will broadcast in analog format. Despite extensive preparations for the conversion, millions of Americans who rely on free, over-the-air television may lose access to some or all channels.

And Apple Inc. (AAPL) fans are speculating that Chief Executive Steve Jobs, who appears on track to return from medical leave after months of uncertainty about his health, may attend its annual developers conference Monday.

 
   800 Chrysler Dealers Prepare To Close

Legal arguments on Chrysler's plan to cut its ties with a quarter of its dealerships are slated to begin Tuesday in bankruptcy court. Nearly 800 Chrysler dealers are expected to close next week.

Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., a leading critic of the auto makers, has proposed a bill that would require Chrysler and General Motors Corp. (GMGMQ), which filed for bankruptcy protection this week, to use government bailout funds to reimburse closed dealerships for unsold vehicles and parts. Others in Congress are trying to slow down the dealership closings.

 
   TV Turns All-Digital Next Week

The U.S. converts to all-digital broadcast TV next Friday, which could leave about 3 million households without free access to programming. That is the number estimated to be using rabbit ears for analog TV signals. Those people must buy a digital TV or a digital converter box or subscribe to satellite or cable TV service.

About half of the roughly 1,800 TV stations in the U.S. have transitioned to an all-digital format since Feb. 17, the original date for the digital shift. At the request of President Barack Obama, the date was delayed to ensure the country was more prepared.

 
   Jobs To Appear At Apple Event?

Apple holds its annual developers conference Monday in San Francisco, and some are speculating Chief Executive Steve Jobs, who took a medical leave from the company in January, could appear - along with the latest version of the iPhone. The last version of the iPhone was announced at the same event almost one year ago.

Jobs, a survivor of pancreatic cancer, reportedly will return to work later this month. Apple has said its marketing chief, Philip Schiller, will give the keynote address - a role reserved for Jobs in past years.

 
   Trade Deficit Likely Grew Again

The U.S. trade deficit is expected to expand slightly in April as it did in March after shrinking every month since November. The deficit will be detailed Tuesday, a day after the government reports on April wholesale inventories.

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve releases its Beige Book, a Fed survey of regional economic conditions across the U.S.

The government details May retail sales and April business inventories Thursday, and a day later, the Reuters/University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index issues its preliminary figure for June. The index has been rising since February.

Among appearances by Federal Reserve officials: Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart on Thursday in Atlanta.

 
   Retailers, Food Companies Report

Retailers, spirits company Brown-Forman Corp. (BFA) and Del Monte Foods Co. (DLM) are among the few companies posting quarterly results next week. Women's apparel retailer Talbots Inc. (TLB) reports Tuesday and Men's Wearhouse Inc. (MW) and Neiman Marcus Group Inc. (NMGA) do Wednesday. Brown-Forman also reports Wednesday, while Del Monte does Thursday.

 
   Diabetes Studies Could Change Market

Studies to be released at the annual American Diabetes Association conference could shake the market for large diabetes product makers, such as GlaxoSmithKline PLC (GSK) and Novo Nordisk (NVO), and change the way patients deal with a disease that can lead to blindness, kidney disease, heart attacks and death. Among the pharmaceutical and device companies whose business could be affected by studies presented through Tuesday in New Orleans are Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. (4502.TO), Merck & Co. (MRK), Boston Scientific Corp. (BSX), Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) and AstraZeneca PLC (AZN).

 
   Senate To Debate Tobacco Bill

The Senate is expected to debate a bill tightening regulation of tobacco products next week. The legislation appeared to have strong support in the Senate this week, but Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., who opposes the measure, prolonged debate on the measure using a number of procedural tactics. The measure would give the Food and Drug Administration authority to regulate tobacco. A substitute measure proposed by Burr would create an agency within the Health and Human Services Department rather than placing regulation at the FDA.

 
   Rangel To Present Health Proposals

House Democrats will meet Tuesday to hear proposals from Ways and Means Chairman Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., on ways to overhaul the U.S. health-care system. That committee is one of three collaborating on a health bill. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to schedule a vote on health legislation before Congress recesses for its August break.
