HISTORIC LPTV DISPLACEMENT WINDOW CLOSES
A TOTAL OF 2110 FILINGS WERE MADE BY DISPLACED LPTV AND TV TRANSLATORS

90% (1895) FOR UHF CHANNELS
10% (215) FOR VHF CHANNELS



THE #1 CHANNEL FOR NEW APPS IS NOT GOOD NEWS FOR TV WHITE SPACE FOLKS


CURRENT ALLOCATION MAP, INCLUDING ALL LIC/CP/APP FOR CHANNEL 34 - BY  RABBITEARS.INFO



SO WHERE IS THAT $150 MILLION FROM CONGRESS GOING TO BE SPENT BY LPTV & TRANSLATORS?

 

THIS ASSUMES THAT EACH APP FILING WILL GET AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE NEW CONGRESSIONAL $150 MILLION 2 YEAR FUNDING, WHICH COMES TO ABOUT $71,090 FOR EACH OF THE 2110 FILERS, WHICH OF COURSE IS NOT HOW THE FCC WILL DO IT, BUT WE DO HERE FOR YOU.


18 MARKETS WITH MX's
23 SPECIFIC MX SITUATIONS
55 MX'd FILINGS


We are getting field reports of Phase Zero applications being processed first, and new CPs being issued for them. This has kickstarted T-Mobile into high gear, and they are preparing the forms to apply for their relo funding for 2nd Phase Zero moves.  Thank Coalition members for this, as Phase Zero was first discovery here!




YOU JUST GOT TO LOVE THE ATTEMPT TO LEARN
WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON WITH THOSE TOWER FOLKS















COALITION COMMENTARY
Considering that in today monthly FCC Open Meeting the Commissioner approved a FNPRM to figure out the leased access rules, well what more can we say.  The MVPD leased access rules are all messed up, and we here at the Coalition only have two words to say about it all, "First Amendment"!

So here is the Leased Access FNPRM approved today, actually the sunshine version:



 

















COALITION COMMENTARY
Let's see, retrans now makes up over 50% of revenues for the corporate welfare primary full power stations. And now they want more of it, can't blame them.  A sugar addict wants more sugar, same with tobacco, alcohol, and pain killers.  Which to us means that this industry is in real trouble if they need the government to bail them out with a 50% national cap.  Well we want it also!

SUMMER COALITION FUNDRAISER


DO YOU WANT A NEW CLASS A WINDOW?  HOW ABOUT NEW LEASED ACCESS RULES, OR HOW ABOUT MUST CARRY FOR EAS PROVIDING CLASS A'S & LPTV?  HOW ABOUT A "REVERSE-LIGHTHOUSE" SO THAT THE PRIMARIES CAN UTILIZE YOUR STATION FOR 3.0 COVERAGE?  OR MAYBE YOU WANT A POWER INCREASE LIKE SOME CLASS A'S HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN TO GO TO 48 kW?  AND WHAT ABOUT THAT T-BAND AUCTION WHICH THE FCC HAS TO DEAL WITH IN A FEW YEARS?  OR WHAT ABOUT THE FULL POWERS WANTING A TEMP CHANNEL WHICH WILL COME FROM WHAT IS LEFT OVER AFTER THIS JUST COMPLETED FILING WINDOW?  AND HOW ABOUT THOSE 1000'S OF DISPLACED CP'S?  OR THE CHANNEL 6 ISSUE AND ANALOG SUNSET? 

WE HAVE BEEN HERE NOW FOR OVER 5 YEARS TO HELP AND OUR TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS SHOWS WE GET STUFF DONE ON YOUR BEHALF.  REMEMBER THE FIVE YEAR CP EXTENSION? THE NO DOUBLE BUILD?  OR THE PHASE ZERO ALERT?  AND HOW ABOUT THAT $150 MILLION RELOCATION FUNDING?  IT ONLY WORKS WHEN YOU ALL WORK TOGETHER.  DO IT NOW BEFORE THE NEXT CRISIS!!!!!!

THANKS!!!!
