FCC Seeks Comment on Issues Related to Digital LPTV Stations

In this Third Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the Federal Communications Commission seeks comment on a number of issues involving low power television 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, the FCC seeks 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.
