  • requesting channel substitutions in order to resolve reception issues associated with the DTV transition. In its reply comments, Franklin analyzed the potential for licensing future full power and low power TV stations on TV Channel 18 in Franklin County. Because TV Channel 18 is allocated to PLMRS in both the Pittsburgh, PA and Washington, DC/MD/VA urbanized areas, and because Section 73.623(e) requires a minimum separation of 250 kilometers between DTV stations and the center coordinates of PLMRS urbanized areas, Franklin observes that the County's location within 250 kilometers of both city centers would ``preclud[e] any full service DTV stations from operation in the county.'' Further, a hypothetical LPTV station, ``would be at extremely low power, limiting its usefulness[,] and it could

  • new allocation of the 698-746 MHz band, we seek comment on whether we should adopt the same criteria for protection of DTV stations as we use for protection of analog stations. We are particularly interested in comments addressing the provisions for transmissions that may have the characteristics of a wide band-noise like emission. As demonstrated by the table in Section 73.623(c)(3)(ii), DTV receivers treat co-channel DTV signals as an increase in the noise floor of the desired signal. This increase in noise floor is proportional to the power received from the undesired station. Therefore, in order to maintain the minimum necessary signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 15.19 dB, the desired signal level must be increased. Section 73.623(c)(2) of the rules sets forth

  • York's operations in the TV Channel 69 band would not result in significant interference to its viewers. The Region Planning Committees (RPCs) of the State of Missouri area and State of Tennessee area state New York's operations would cause minimal interference to TV viewers because the interference is predicted to be below the two percent de minimis standard of Section 73.623(c). Regarding the Engineering Study, M/A-COM, Inc. supports New York's analytical methods and results. NPSTC also believes that New York presents a reasoned and analytic description of how its operations would interact with and protect broadcast services. However, Mountain Broadcasting Corporation (Mountain), licensee of Station WMBC-TV, Newton, New Jersey, operating on TV Channel 63, the lower-adjacent channel to New York's proposed

In support of its proposal, KFBB states that due to the better propagation characteristics of DTV Channel 8, station KFBB-TV could better replicate its analog service area using the lower-band VHF spectrum. KFBB also notes that based on studies using the OET-69 method, its proposal satisfies the interference standard set out into Section 73.623(c)(2) of the Commission's rules. 3.

Nevertheless, Entravision requested a waiver of the spacing rules to implement its proposed operation, based, in large measure, on its pledge to eliminate any resulting interference to land mobile operations on channel 17. It specifically sought waiver of Section 73.623(e) of the Commission's Rules, insofar as it requires that ``all affected land mobile licensees consent to the requested action.'' In support, Entravision argued that when the Commission made the existing WJAL-DT channel allotment, it did so knowing that it violated spacing requirements without any requirement that land mobile users' consent be obtained.

Since, only DTV channel 4 is allotted to Albany, New York, this problem cannot occur. However, for the reasons discussed below we conclude that Clear Channel's proposal should be adopted. 6. Section 73.623(c) specifies the protection requirements for DTV applications with respect to other DTV stations and allotments, and NTSC stations. In general, interference to such stations affecting less than 2 percent of the population they served is considered de minimis.

The SBE states that according to its engineering study, using the time-shared "HDTV" computer program, the proposed DTV channel 13 at Nampa is predicted to cause interference to 2,422 persons within the KIPT(TV) Grade B contour, which amounts to 2.4 percent and is in excess of the 2% de minimis interference permitted by Section 73.623 of the Commission's Rules. SBE also contends, because of interference from the proposed DTV channel, 640 persons will lose their second primary television service and their only primary noncommercial television service. SBE argues that this loss of service would be contrary to the Commission's third television allotment priorities as set forth in the Sixth Report and Order on Television Allocations,

Many DTV applicants do not seek to expand the coverage area of their DTV allotment and therefore do not increase the interference that the applied-for-station would be predicted to cause. These applications are treated as ``checklist'' applications that conform to their allotments and accordingly are subject to streamlined processing that allows them to be granted without

As noted in the Notice, however, the D/U ratio of 17 dB for co-channel interference to digital stations should be 23 dB for protection of DTV from wideband land mobile transmissions since, as demonstrated by the table in Section 73.623(c)(3)(ii), DTV receivers treat interference from wideband co-channel signals as an increase in the noise floor of the desired signal. At the edge of the DTV (noise-limited) service area, where the DTV S/N ratio is small, the value of D/U is 23 dB for co-channel interference protection from another DTV station (i.e., the desired signal must be at least 23 dB

We are particularly interested in comments addressing the provisions for transmissions that may have the characteristics of a wide band-noise like emission. As demonstrated by the table in Section 73.623(c)(3)(ii), DTV receivers treat co-channel DTV signals as an increase in the noise floor of the desired signal. This increase in noise floor is proportional to the power received from the undesired station. Therefore, in order to maintain the minimum necessary signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 15.19 dB, the desired signal level must be increased. Section 73.623(c)(2) of the rules sets forth

We will discontinue the 10 percent cap on total interference. We will continue to evaluate requests for new DTV allotments using the DTV-to-DTV geographic spacing requirements contained in Section 73.623(d). For approximately a year after lifting the filing freeze, we will protect all stations' DTV Table Appendix B facilities, after which we will protect each station's new DTV Table Appendix B facilities' coverage only until the station has a CP or license for its post-transition operation, at which time we will limit its interference protection to its authorized coverage area.

We note that these distances were developed to be analogous to the long-standing analog TV geographic spacing rules. We intend that our consideration of petitions for rule making requesting new DTV allotments will be consistent with the process we have used for analog TV allotments in that short-spacing waivers will not be allowed.

Stations on new allotments that operate at the proposed new power limits and are at or close to the current minimum distances with regard to other stations could cause more interference to such stations (and vice versa) than would occur under the current power limits.

We are particularly interested in comments addressing the provisions for transmissions that may have the characteristics of a wide band-noise like emission. As demonstrated by the table in Section 73.623(c)(3)(ii), DTV receivers treat co-channel DTV signals as an increase in the noise floor of the desired signal. This increase in noise floor is proportional to the power received from the undesired station. Therefore, in order to maintain the minimum necessary signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 15.19 dB, the desired signal level must be increased. Section 73.623(c)(2) of the rules sets forth

Proposals to convert to DTV operation will be evaluated under the criteria for changing an initial DTV allotment set forth in Section 73.622(a) of the rules. Specifically, the channel must be in the range from 2 to 58, and DTV and NTSC stations must be protected by meeting the engineering criteria of Section 73.623(c) of the rules.6 NTSC allotment proposals made pursuant to this public notice must meet the minimum distance separations between NTSC stations (47 C.F.R.

As discussed in paragraphs 92 through 95 of the Order, some changes were determined to be appropriate. In part, these changes were reflected by modifying the adjacent-channel D/U ratios in Section 73.623(c) of the Commission Rules and are reflected here by adding 50 km to the DTV protection "culling" distances for stations operating on a first adjacent channel. -3- interference from the facilities requested in the application.

The tradeoff table in Section 73.623(c)(3)(ii) is an example of the relationship of signal margin to one type of interference: analog signals on the same frequency. The table shows that, as the margin increases, the strength of the desired signal can be much less when compared to the strength of the interfering signal, and still produce good quality video and audio.

    • new allocation of the 698-746 MHz band, we seek comment on whether we should adopt the same criteria for protection of DTV stations as we use for protection of analog stations. We are particularly interested in comments addressing the provisions for transmissions that may have the characteristics of a wide band-noise like emission. As demonstrated by the table in Section 73.623(c)(3)(ii), DTV receivers treat co-channel DTV signals as an increase in the noise floor of the desired signal. This increase in noise floor is proportional to the power received from the undesired station. Therefore, in order to maintain the minimum necessary signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 15.19 dB, the desired signal level must be increased. Section 73.623(c)(2) of the rules sets forth

Full-Service DTV Protection to Analog Class A Where interference protection to Class A stations is required, full-service DTV proposals must protect the Class A service contours in accordance with the D/U ratios in Section 73.623(c)(2) of the DTV rules for ``DTV into analog TV'' protection. We will not eliminate protection requirements from DTV stations proposing operation on the ``taboo'' channels, as suggested by du Triel. The potential for interference to Class A stations, du Triel contends, would be limited to the immediate vicinity of the ``taboo'' channel DTV station's transmitter site. However, neither du Triel

Operation on NTSC channel 19 would, as Lindsay and Achernar conceded in seeking to amend to that channel, be slightly short-spaced with WGNT-DT, as currently authorized. An engineering statement filed in support of the amendment to NTSC channel 19 assertedly demonstrates satisfaction of the interference standards set forth in Section 73.623. Shenandoah disputes that showing and submits that there has not been a good cause showing warranting a waiver of the short-spacing rules. Significantly, however, Viacom, the ultimate licensee of WGNT-DT, does not oppose the substitution of channel 19 on this basis. The Bureau, moreover, has indicated that the addition of NTSC channel 19 in Charlottesville would not detrimentally affect the

It appears that both stations are essentially co-located. Specifically, Utah Communications' proposed site is about 0.43 km from the proposed site for DTV Channel 48. As a result, Utah Communications' proposal complies with Section 73.623(d), which requires the geographic spacing separation for adjacent-channel DTV to analog TV in Zone II to be less than 12 km or more than 106 km.

We explained that applications filed by television licensees seeking to implement their DTV allotment must protect all other DTV allotments from predicted interference as indicated in the Sixth MO&O and Section 73.623 of the Commission's Rules. Many DTV applicants do not seek to expand the coverage area of their DTV allotment and therefore do not increase the interference that the applied-for-station would be predicted to cause. These applications are treated as ``checklist'' applications that conform to their allotments and accordingly are subject to streamlined processing that allows them to be granted without

We concluded that such a broad interpretation of the statute was consistent with the CBPA's emphasis on protecting the digital transition. For instance, Section (f)(1)(D)(ii) of the statute provides for necessary allotment adjustments ``to permit maximization of a full-power digital television applicant's service area consistent with Sections 73.622 and 73.623 [of the Commission's Rules]. Section 73.622(d) permits and protects the DTV service areas extended through site changes. Congress provided DTV stations an opportunity to maximize service on a priority basis to Class A stations. In so doing, we do not believe that it intended to preclude protection to service areas shifted by desired DTV site relocations; for example, relocation to
