Sec. 74.702 Channel assignments.
(a) An applicant for a new low power TV or TV translator station or for
changes in the facilities of an authorized station shall endeavor to select
a channel on which its operation is not likely to cause interference. The
applications must be specific with regard to the channel requested. Only one
channel will be assigned to each station.
(1) Any one of the 12 standard VHF Channels (2 to 13 inclusive) may be
assigned to a VHF low power TV or TV translator station. Channels 5 and 6
assigned in Alaska shall not cause harmful interference to and must accept
interference from non-Government fixed operation authorized prior to January
1, 1982.
(2) Any one of the UHF Channels from 14 to 69, inclusive, may be assigned to
a UHF low power TV or TV translator station. In accordance with Sec. 73.603(c)
of part 73, Channel 37 will not be assigned to such stations.
(3) Application for new low power TV or TV translator stations or for
changes in existing stations, specifying operation above 806 MHz will not be
accepted for filing. License renewals for existing TV translator stations
operating on channels 70 (806–812 MHz) through 83 (884–890 MHz) will be
granted only on a secondary basis to land mobile radio operations.
(b) Changes in the TV Table of Allotments or Digital Television Table of
Allotments ( Sec. Sec. 73.606(b) and 73.622(a), respectively, of part 73 of this
chapter), authorizations to construct new TV broadcast analog or DTV
stations or to authorizations to change facilities of existing such
stations, may be made without regard to existing or proposed low power TV or
TV translator stations. Where such a change results in a low power TV or TV
translator station causing actual interference to reception of the TV
broadcast analog or DTV station, the licensee or permittee of the low power
TV or TV translator station shall eliminate the interference or file an
application for a change in channel assignment pursuant to Sec. 73.3572 of this
chapter.
(c) A television broadcast booster station will be authorized on the channel
assigned to its primary station.
