  Sec.  73.7000   Definition of terms (as used in subpart K only).

   Attributable  interest.  An  interest  of  an  applicant,  its parent,
   subsidiaries, their officers, and members of their governing boards that
   would be cognizable under the standards in the notes to  Sec. 73.3555. Also an
   interest of an entity providing more than 33 percent of an applicant's
   equity  and/or debt that also either (1) supplies more than 15% of the
   station's weekly programming, or (2) has an attributable interest pursuant
   to  Sec. 73.3555 in media in the same market.

   Established local applicant. An applicant that has, for at least the two
   years (24 months) immediately preceding application, met the definition of
   local applicant.

   Local applicant. An applicant physically headquartered, having a campus, or
   having  75% of board members residing within 25 miles of the reference
   coordinates for the community to be served, or a governmental entity within
   its area of jurisdiction.

   Nonreserved  (Unreserved)  channels.  Channels  which are not reserved
   exclusively for noncommercial educational use, and for which commercial
   entities  could  thus be eligible to operate full power stations. Such
   channels  appear  without  an  asterisk designation in the FM Table of
   Allotments ( Sec. 73.202) and TV Table of Allotments ( Sec. 73.606). In the event of a
   request  to  allocate  a  nonreserved  channel as reserved pursuant to
    Sec.  Sec. 73.202(a) or 73.606(a), the channel remains classified as nonreserved
   until release of a Commission decision granting such request.

   On-air operations. Broadcast of program material to the public pursuant to
   Commission authority, generally beginning with program test authority, for
   periods of time that meet any required minimum operating schedule, e.g.
    Sec. 73.561(a).

   Population. The number of people calculated using the most recent census
   block data provided by the United States Census Bureau.

   Reserved  channels.  Channels  reserved  exclusively for noncommercial
   educational use, whether by the portion of the spectrum in which they are
   located ( i.e. FM channels 200 to 220) or by a case-by-case Commission
   allotment decision (channels that appear with an asterisk designation in the
   FM Table of Allotments ( Sec. 73.202) or TV Table of Allotments ( Sec. 73.606)).
