Abstract:
Section 73.1635 allows licensees/permitees of broadcast stations to file for special temporary authority to operate broadcast stations at specified variances from station authorizations not to exceed 180 days. Data is used by FCC Staff to ensure that such operations will not cause interference to other stations. Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, full-power television broadcast stations must transmit only in digital signals, and may no longer transmit analog signals. On April 25, 2007, the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, MB Docket 07-91, FCC 07-70, to consider the procedures and rule changes necessary to complete the nation's transition to DTV, including how best to ensure that broadcasters complete construction of their facilities on their final, post-transition (digital) channel by the statutory deadline.
