The interference was reported to have begun in July 2007. On April 23, 2008, an agent of the New York Office monitored station WTXX and observed the following violation: 47 C.F.R. § 73.1545(c)(1): ``The departure of the visual carrier frequency of a TV station may not exceed ±1000 Hz from the assigned visual carrier frequency.'' The assigned visual carrier frequency for station WTXX is 507.250 MHz.

To do so, station licensees, permittees, and applicants shall specify the carrier offset in a letter to the Commission staff, referencing their license, permit, or pending application. Class A stations operating with an offset must meet the +/- 1 kilohertz frequency tolerance requirements of Section 73.1545 (c) of the Commission's Rules. We understand that most stations not currently operating with an offset could readily do so at modest cost by modifying their existing transmitters. A small number of stations may have to obtain new transmitters equipped for offset operation. With regard to offset conversion, we will not impose the transmitter equipment performance requirements of Section 73.1590
