FCC Proceeding (3)

FCC Report and Order on TV Channel Sharing Arrangements (FCC 12-45) We amend our rules to establish the basic ground rules for sharing of broadcast channels by stations that choose to share a 6 MHz channel with one or more other stations in connection with the incentive auction. Such sharing will allow stations to relinquish spectrum for new uses while continuing to provide television service to viewers. By adopting these rules now, we seek to provide greater certainty to stations that may wish to consider channel sharing. Frequencies/Bands 54 - 72 MHz 76 - 88 MHz 174 - 216 MHz 470 - 608 MHz 614 - 698 MHz Services Broadcasting Document type and status: FCC proceeding (Current) Document date or date of hyperlink query: April 30, 2012 Fcc Docket(s): ET 10-235 FCC Report and Order on TV Channel Sharing Arrangements (FCC 12-45) Edit... FCC Rules for Low Power, Translator, and Class A Television Stations Digital Transition (FCC 11-110) To ensure a timely and successful completion to the low power television digital transition, we take the following steps: (1) adopt a hard deadline of September 1, 2015 for the termination of all analog low power television facilities; (2) establish rules permitting those stations needing additional time to complete their digital transition to obtain a “last minute” extension; (3) require existing analog and digital low power television stations in the 700 MHz band (channels 52-69) to submit displacement applications by September 1, 2011, and to cease operations in the 700 MHz band by December 31, 2011; (4) increase the power limits for VHF low power television channels to 3 kilowatts (the current analog power limit); (5) delegate to the Media Bureau the authority to establish timeframes and procedures for stations that have not already converted to notify the Commission of their conversion plans; (6) widen the class of low power television broadcasters subject to the Commission’s ancillary and supplementary fee rules; (7) modify the Commission’s minor change rule so that it covers a proposed change in a low power television station’s transmitter site of up to 30 miles (48 kilometers) from the reference coordinates of the station’s transmitting antenna; (8) revise the vertical antenna patterns used in the prediction methodology for the low power television services; and (9) allow low power television stations to use the emission mask used by full power television stations.

FCC Third NPRM on Digital LPTV and Translator Stations In this Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“Third Notice”), we seek comment on a number of issues involving low power television (“LPTV”) and TV translator stations (referred to collectively as “LPTV and TV translator stations”). These stations are a source of diverse and local programming for viewers, especially in rural and remote locations. Through this proceeding, we seek comment on measures to facilitate the final conversion of LPTV and TV translator stations to digital service and consider additional means to mitigate the potential impact of the incentive auction and the repacking process on LPTV and TV translator stations to help preserve the important services they provide.
