§ 73.612 Protection from interference.
(a) Permittees and licensees of TV broadcast stations are not protected from
any interference which may be caused by the grant of a new station or of
authority to modify the facilities of an existing station in accordance with
the provisions of this subpart. The nature and extent of the protection from
interference accorded to TV broadcast stations is limited solely to the
protection which results from the minimum allotment and station separation
requirements and the rules and regulations with respect to maximum powers
and antenna heights set forth in this subpart.
(b) When the Commission determines that grant of an application would serve
the public interest, convenience, and necessity and the instrument of
authorization specifies an antenna location in a designated antenna farm
area which results in distance separation less than those specified in this
subpart, TV broadcast station permittees and licensees shall be afforded
protection from interference equivalent to the protection afforded under the
minimum distance separations specified in this subpart.
Note: The nature and extent of the protection from interference accorded to
TV broadcast stations which were authorized prior to April 14, 1952, and
which were operating on said date is limited not only as specified above but
is further limited by any smaller separations existing between such stations
on said date. Where, as a result of the adoption of the Table of Allotments
or of changes in transmitter sites made by such stations after said date,
separations smaller than the required minimum are increased but still remain
lower than the required minimum, protection accorded such stations will be
limited to the new separations.
