FCC RELEASES FINAL DTV CHANNEL ASSIGNMENTS
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
On Monday, the FCC released a new DTV Table which provides television stations across the country with their final channel assignments for broadcasting following the DTV transition on February 17, 2009. The FCC said its goal was both to accommodate TV station's request for channel assignments while also increasing the efficient use of the spectrum. Not getting assignments yet were a handful of stations who had asked for modifications too late to be included.
