  • Rcd 14588, 14664 (1997) (``DTV Sixth Report and Order'') (``[I]f such problems occur, it will be the initial responsibility of the DTV licensee to protect against or eliminate harmful interference to land mobile services that have commenced operations and that are operating in accordance with our rules at the time the DTV licensee goes on the air.''). 47 C.F.R. § 74.702(e). From its creation by the Commission in 1982, the low power television service has been a ``secondary spectrum priority'' service whose members ``may not cause objectionable interference to existing full-service stations, and . . . must yield to facilities increases of existing full-service stations or to new full-service stations where interference occurs.''

  • achieved before taking any additional steps to minimize the impact on these secondary operations. MO&O on Reconsideration of Sixth Report and Order, 13 FCC Rcd 7418, 7461 (1998). The Commission's rules also specifically state that changes in the DTV Table of Allotments may be made ``without regard to existing or proposed low power TV or TV translator stations.'' 47 C.F.R. 74.702(b). In the ongoing DTV proceeding, the Commission did, however, recognize the importance of preserving, to the extent possible, the existing low power television programming service to viewers. Accordingly, displacement relief is available to low power television stations where interference is predicted to or from any allotted DTV facility, and these displacement applications are afforded priority over new station applications or
