  • (Room CY-A257) at its headquarters, 445 12th Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. Since Weston, West Virginia, is located within the protected areas of the NRAO's "Quiet Zone" at Green Bank, West Virginia, the licensee of station WDTV-DT will be required to comply with the notification requirement of Section 73.1030 of the Commission's Rules. Withers submits an engineering study noting that Section 73.525(c) of the FCC rules permits new NCE-FM stations to cause predicted interference up to 3,000 people within the analog service area for a TV channel 6 operation. The study states, based on the requirements of new NCE-FM stations, that the calculated interference from the proposed channel 6 DTV can be considered "de minimis".

  • 296A at Pima should not be reserved for NCE use. Desert West filed comments opposing the NCE reservation of Channel 296A at Pima because the Petitioner's engineering study failed to consider the possibility that an NCE allotment could be made within the reserved band that would provide TV Channel 6 protection to Station KUAT-TV, Tucson, Arizona in compliance with Section 73.525(c) of the Commission's rules. As a result, vacant Channel 296A at Pima should not be reserved for NCE use because the reserved band channels may not be precluded by TV Channel 6. Discussion. The NCE Second Report and Order set forth a methodology to use when evaluating FM allotment reservation requests. In this regard, a reservation showing must satisfy two

  • KIRK submitted an engineering showing demonstrating that Channel 206C3 is available and would provide a first or second NCE service to 12,276 persons (19 percent) of the total population of 63,568 persons. The engineering showing states that the proposed transmitter site for Channel 206C3 would afford full protection to any authorized TV Channel 6 station under the provisions of Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules. Discussion. Best Broadcasting and KIRK have successfully demonstrated that an alternate channel is available in Madison. A TV Channel 6 preclusion study which may be used to establish that certain FM reserved band channels are unavailable, is based on Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules. Our engineering study confirms that while a proposed Channel 206C3 would

  • reserved channels are technically precluded from operating at Willcox. Desert West argues that the Petitioner's engineering study erroneously rejected all twenty NCE channels due to the perceived interference caused by KUAT-TV, Tucson, Arizona. Therefore, the quick rejection of all twenty reserved channels arbitrarily ignores the possibility that an allotment could be made within the reserved band in compliance with Section 73.525(c) of the Commission's rules. Moreover, Desert West states that the Petitioner failed to provide a detailed analysis of the interference caused to the reception of the TV Channel 6 Station KUAT-TV signal from the proposed facility. Desert West suggests that Channel 218C3 is available at Willcox at the east site location at reference coordinates 32-16-25 NL and 109-24-05 WL (the

  • 73.211(a)(1)(v), 73.211(b)(1)(i), 73.212(a), and 73.316 of the Commission's rules. The proposed transmitter site for Channel 204C2 and Channel 206C2 is within the affected radius of TV Channel 6 Station KMOS-TV, Sedalia, Missouri. KIRK contends that a NCE station, either on Channel 204C2 or Channel 206C2 would afford full protection to TV Channel 6 Station KMOS-TV under the provisions of Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules. According to KIRK calculations, the minimum 60 dBu contours for Channel 204C2 and Channel 206C2 would render a first or second NCE service to 9,908 people (12 percent) of the total population of 83,671 people. Petitioner filed reply comments stating that KIRK proposed an antenna radiating 1 kW horizontal power and 25.5 kW vertically for Channel

  • NCE service to six percent of the total population within the proposed 60 dBu contour. Desert West also contends that NCE stations could be licensed on Channels 218A and 219A, notwithstanding the potential impact of these stations on KUAT-TV, Channel 6, Tucson, Arizona. It claims that these NCE-FM stations would satisfy the Channel 6 protection requirements set forth in Section 73.525(c) of the Commission's rules. Petitioner filed a Reply to Opposition stating that Desert West erroneously included an AM station in its reservation analysis. It notes that the Commission has not reserved any particular NCE frequencies for exclusive use in (AM) service. Thus, Station KUAZ(AM) could apply to change from NCE to commercial status by filing a minor modification application. Petitioner

  • actions taken. The proposed facility also is short spaced to KHQ-TV, Channel 6, Spokane, WA, licensed to KHQ Incorporated (``KHQ''), in violation of Section 73.825 of the Commission's Rules. Thin Air recognizes this violation and requests waiver of Section 73.825. In support of the waiver request, Thin Air demonstrates that, by using vertical polarization and applying the provisions of Section 73.525 of the Commission's Rules, there will be no actual interference to any TV Channel 6 viewers. KHQ and Thin Air also have entered into an agreement, substantially similar to the EWU Agreement, which requires Thin Air to resolve expeditiously all interference complaints. Discussion. As a threshold matter, we must determine whether Section 632(a) of P. L. 106-553 bars the Commission

  • deny the application. Bay City is the programming and sales representative for Radio Televisión, S.A. de C.V. (``RTSA''), licensee of XETV(TV), Channel 6, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. KSDS is licensed to operate on Channel 202, 88.3 MHz. In its petition to deny, Bay City alleged that the initially-filed application failed to protect Channel 6 station XETV(TV) as required by Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules. It also claimed that the proposed KSDS facilities would result in ``massive interference'' to viewers in the United States. Moreover, it contended that the Commission had previously acknowledged the service that XETV(TV) provides in the border zone to domestic viewers by granting the Section 325(c) application of Fox Television Stations, Inc. to permit the retransmission of

  • for NCE use. Discussion. Accordingly, we are allotting Channel 228A at Columbus, Indiana and reserving it for NCE use. A staff engineering analysis determines that all of the reserved band channels at Columbus are precluded due to TV Channel 6, Station WRTV, Indianapolis, Indiana. In this regard, interference to the affected area exceeds the 3,000 person limit pursuant to Section 73.525(c) of the Commission's Rules. Furthermore, the upper band NCE Channel 220 at Columbus would cause prohibited interference within the TV Channel 6, Station WRTV service area to 37,821 persons. Additionally, the allotment and reservation of Channel 228A at Columbus would provide a first and/or second NCE service to 33.9 percent (44,362 persons) to the total population of 131,041 persons. Channel

  • at Milano would provide a first and/or second NCE radio service to at least ten percent of the population within the proposed station's 1mv/m (60dbu) contour, exceeding 2,000 persons. Moreover, Starboard Media states that, if allotted, it will file an application for Channel 274A at Milano, whether allotted for commercial purposes or NCE use. 4. Discussion. In compliance with Section 73.525(c) of the Commission's Rules, a staff engineering analysis determined that the predicted interference area to TV Channel 6, Station KCEN-TV would not exceed the 3,000 person limit. Moreover, at city reference coordinates (30-42-37 NL and 96-51-47 WL), a minimum Class A facility could be authorized on Channel 207 and Channel 212. As such, we will not reserve Channel 274A at

  • Channel 280C at Toquerville, Utah. Bonneville International filed Comments opposing the NCE reservation of Channel 280C at Toquerville. In its comments, Bonneville International asserts that reserved band Channel 201 is available at Toquerville. Booneville International also states that an equivalent Class C facilities could be authorized on Channel 201 at the city reference coordinates at Toquerville in compliance with Section 73.525 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''). In this regard, Booneville International claims that such facilities would provide a first NCE service to 15.3 percent (19,962 persons). Petitioner filed Reply Comments, stating that a Channel 201 facility at Toquerville would violate Section 73.525 of the Rules because the proposed NCE Class C facility would cause interference to a rulemaking petition proposing

  • Channel 6 to Santaquin, Utah, technically precludes all of the reserved band channels at Mona. The engineering statement notes that Santaquin is located approximately ten kilometers from Mona. As such, the Petitioner concludes that a NCE channel at Mona could cause potential interference within both the TV Channel 6 station's Grade B and Grade A contours. Petitioner claims that Section 73.525(a) of the Commission's Rules precludes the use of Channel 204A at Mona. Discussion. We deny the Petition for Reconsideration. At the outset, Channel 204A at Mona would provide a significant public interest benefit. This would provide a first NCE service to 42 percent (16,128 persons) of the total population. The fact that Channel 204A at Mona is short-spaced to a

The Agreement provides that Venture shall ``accept a condition upon the KSFV-LP channel 6 license - such condition to run permanently with the license regardless of whoever is or may henceforth become the Station licensee.'' The condition provides that Venture must accept interference from KUSC-FM and that KUSC-FM will not be subject to the interference provisions in Section 73.525 of the rules should it file an application for modification in the future. In addition, the Agreement provides that USC will dismiss its objection to the KSFV-LP channel 6 application and will not object to future modification applications filed by Venture. However, should a modification application for KSFV-LP be filed in the future and USC and Venture disagree on whether

For the reasons set forth below, we deny the Petition. Background. SEB filed the Application during the NCE filing window of October 2007. A staff engineering review of the Application revealed that the Application failed to comply with Section 73.525 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules'') with respect to Channel 6 station KMOS-TV, Sedalia, Missouri. The Application requested a waiver of Section 73.525 regarding protection of TV Channel 6 stations. On February 18, 2008, SEB amended the Application to provide a consent letter from KMOS-TV, licensed to the University of Central Missouri (``UCM''), dated January 31, 2008. The UCM letter

Central also alleges that Daystar is not qualified for the points awarded by the Commission. DISCUSSION. Potential Interference. The Application certifies that Daystar's proposed operation would protect the operations of Post-Newsweek's station WKMG-TV, consistent with Section 73.525 of the Rules. That rule allows applicants for new NCE FM stations to propose predicted interference to the TV Channel 6 reception of no more than 4,000 people (assuming that the applicant will eliminate interference to 1,000 of those people by installing filters). Applicants must base their calculations on ``the most recently published U.S. Census of Population.'' The Rules prescribe

  • Foundation File No. BPED-20070907ACH Dear Mr. Moore, This letter is in reference to the above captioned minor change application of Family Life Educational Foundation (``FLEF''), licensee of noncommercial educational (``NCE'') station KFLO-FM, Blanchard, LA, to change effective radiated power, antenna height, and directional antenna pattern. An engineering review of the application reveals that the application fails to comply with Section 73.525 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules'') with respect to Channel 6 TV station, KTAL(TV), Texarkana, TX. To address this issue, FLEF submits a copy of a letter sent to the Chief Engineer at KTAL(TV). The letter states that KFLO-FM will not begin operations with the proposed facilities until KTAL(TV) ceases Channel 6 transmissions. The letter also requests KTAL(TV)'s consent to

The current distance requirements listed in § 73.825 are premised upon a TV Channel 6 station operating with 100 kW ERP at 610 meters HAAT and the interference ratios proscribed by 47 C.F.R. § 73.525. However, these requirements overstated the potential for interference created by LP10 and LP100 stations. Accordingly, we are amending § 73.825 to eliminate this discrepancy. The requirements we are adopting for Class A TV, LPTV and television translator protection are based upon these stations operating with 3 kW ERP at 610 meters HAAT and the appropriate ratios of § 73.525 and

  • NPR at 11-16. A few commenters suggested that the Commission should reserve channels simply when a reserved channel is unavailable. See, e.g., Barrett at 6; Beacon at 6; SSR at 1. Because these proposals do not take into account the relative proportion of commercial and NCE service - we similarly reject them. See especially 47 C.F.R. Secs. 73.509, 73.515, and 73.525. The issue of whether to allow would-be applicants for NCE stations to attempt to reserve channels already in the Table of Allotments is generally irrelevant for TV, because there are no vacant NTSC allotments, and the only vacant DTV allotments are those already reserved for NCE use. The Commission published the Report & Order in which it adopted these standards

  • certain cases. In some cases, these digital signals may fall below the noise floor and become unlistenable. We seek comment on how to address this matter. Specifically, should the Commission establish a minimum digital power level, even if that would exceed 20 dB below the analog signal? Commenters should submit evidence to substantiate recommended power levels. TV Channel 6. Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules addresses interference protection for TV Channel 6. An affected TV Channel 6 station is a TV broadcast station authorized to operate on Channel 6 that is located within certain distances of a noncommercial educational FM station operating on Channels 201-220. We seek comment on what, if any, rule changes are necessary to protect TV Channel 6

  • FM IBOC hybrid operations. We agree that the very low increase in power resulting from the addition of the IBOC digital signal likely will not result in any increased interference to analog channel 6 TV stations from NCE FM stations operating on FM channels 201-220, and that the DTV transition may render this issue moot. Therefore, no changes in Section 73.525 governing TV channel 6 protection are necessary at this time. The Commission will, however, initiate a separate proceeding to evaluate the existing NCE FM channel 6 TV protection requirements, and seek public input on their continued viability, following the completion of the DTV transition, a review of the immunity characteristics of DTV receivers, and the widespread deployment of DAB transmitting

On November 4, 1999, Forum Communications Company (``Forum''), licensee of Station WDAY-TV, Fargo, North Dakota, filed a Petition to Deny the Selah application. Forum alleges that Selah's proposal would cause interference to WDAY-TV in excess of that permitted by Section 73.525 of the Commission's Rules. In responsive documents, Forum and Selah dispute each other's methodology. These Commission interference requirements are not considered at this stage of the proceeding. We will dismiss Forum's petition and the pleadings responding thereto, without prejudice to any further submissions the parties may file in response to a public notice identifying Selah as a tentative selectee.

As we stated in the Third DTV Periodic Report and Order, once stations have a construction permit (``CP'') or license for their post-transition facility, we will limit interference protection to stations' authorized coverage area. TV Channels 5 and 6 Mullaney Engineering, Inc. (``MEI'') and EME Communications (``EME'') have filed petitions requesting that the Commission eliminate the requirement in Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules that new FM stations protect channel 6 DTV allotments or, alternatively, that it altogether eliminate channel 6, and possibly channel 5, from the digital TV allotment process and allocate that corresponding spectrum to the FM service. Dan Priestley and Robert E. Lee's comments supported MEI's proposal to reallocate TV channels 5 and 6 to FM broadcasting.

Emerson's pending Application for Review, which seeks reinstatement, has the potential to alter the composition of Group 516. Accordingly, we consider Emerson's filing before undertaking any comparative analysis of the group. It is uncontested that Emerson's initial proposal did not comply with Section 73.525 of the Rules with regard to the operation of TV Channel 6 station WLNE-TV. Emerson argues, however, that compliance with that rule has become moot because WLNE-TV was required to cease operations on analog Channel 6 by June 12, 2009, pursuant to the digital television transition. Emerson supplemented its filing on June 12, 2009 by submitting an agreement with the

In many instances, stations with very high effective antenna heights are actually located on mountain peaks or tall buildings where deflection would not occur or would be less than that assumed by Cosmos. 65 Noncommercial FM stations are located on frequencies in the reserved band 88-92 MHz, which is adjacent to TV channel 6 at 82-88 MHz. Section 73.525 specifies limits on the power and antenna height of new or modified FM stations based on their distance to nearby television stations operating on channel 6 and the specific FM radio channel on which the noncommercial FM station operates or proposes to operate.

Presently, noncommercial educational FM applicants are required to consider the impact of their operations on reception of television Channel 6, which operates on a frequency band (82 to 88 MHz) just below the FM band (88 to 108 MHz) in accordance with the provisions of 47 CFR § 73.525. Determining the affected interference area pursuant to this section usually requires complex calculations and detailed contour studies. Given the very limited potential for interference caused by LPFM stations, in order to simplify processing and lessen the filing burden on applicants, we will utilize a spacing table to protect TV Channel 6 stations. The values given in the table utilize the

  • KIRK submitted an engineering showing demonstrating that Channel 206C3 is available and would provide a first or second NCE service to 12,276 persons (19 percent) of the total population of 63,568 persons. The engineering showing states that the proposed transmitter site for Channel 206C3 would afford full protection to any authorized TV Channel 6 station under the provisions of Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules. Discussion. Best Broadcasting and KIRK have successfully demonstrated that an alternate channel is available in Madison. A TV Channel 6 preclusion study which may be used to establish that certain FM reserved band channels are unavailable, is based on Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules. Our engineering study confirms that while a proposed Channel 206C3 would

  • 73.211(a)(1)(v), 73.211(b)(1)(i), 73.212(a), and 73.316 of the Commission's rules. The proposed transmitter site for Channel 204C2 and Channel 206C2 is within the affected radius of TV Channel 6 Station KMOS-TV, Sedalia, Missouri. KIRK contends that a NCE station, either on Channel 204C2 or Channel 206C2 would afford full protection to TV Channel 6 Station KMOS-TV under the provisions of Section 73.525 of the Commission's rules. According to KIRK calculations, the minimum 60 dBu contours for Channel 204C2 and Channel 206C2 would render a first or second NCE service to 9,908 people (12 percent) of the total population of 83,671 people. Petitioner filed reply comments stating that KIRK proposed an antenna radiating 1 kW horizontal power and 25.5 kW vertically for Channel

Desert West also contends that NCE stations could be licensed on Channels 218A and 219A, notwithstanding the potential impact of these stations on KUAT-TV, Channel 6, Tucson, Arizona. It claims that these NCE-FM stations would satisfy the Channel 6 protection requirements set forth in Section 73.525(c) of the Commission's rules. Petitioner filed a Reply to Opposition stating that Desert West erroneously included an AM station in its reservation analysis. It notes that the Commission has not reserved any particular NCE frequencies for exclusive use in (AM) service. Thus, Station KUAZ(AM) could apply to change from NCE to commercial status by filing a minor modification application. Petitioner

  • for NCE use. Discussion. Accordingly, we are allotting Channel 228A at Columbus, Indiana and reserving it for NCE use. A staff engineering analysis determines that all of the reserved band channels at Columbus are precluded due to TV Channel 6, Station WRTV, Indianapolis, Indiana. In this regard, interference to the affected area exceeds the 3,000 person limit pursuant to Section 73.525(c) of the Commission's Rules. Furthermore, the upper band NCE Channel 220 at Columbus would cause prohibited interference within the TV Channel 6, Station WRTV service area to 37,821 persons. Additionally, the allotment and reservation of Channel 228A at Columbus would provide a first and/or second NCE service to 33.9 percent (44,362 persons) to the total population of 131,041 persons.

Moreover, Starboard Media states that, if allotted, it will file an application for Channel 274A at Milano, whether allotted for commercial purposes or NCE use. 4. Discussion. In compliance with Section 73.525(c) of the Commission's Rules, a staff engineering analysis determined that the predicted interference area to TV Channel 6, Station KCEN-TV would not exceed the 3,000 person limit. Moreover, at city reference coordinates (30-42-37 NL and 96-51-47 WL), a minimum Class A facility could be authorized on Channel 207 and Channel 212. As such, we will not reserve Channel 274A at

As such, the Petitioner concludes that a NCE channel at Mona could cause potential interference within both the TV Channel 6 station's Grade B and Grade A contours. Petitioner claims that Section 73.525(a) of the Commission's Rules precludes the use of Channel 204A at Mona. Discussion. We deny the Petition for Reconsideration. At the outset, Channel 204A at Mona would provide a significant public interest benefit. This would provide a first NCE service to 42 percent (16,128 persons) of the total population.
