Advanced Television Systems and Their Impact Upon the Existing Television Broadcast Service; Seventh Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

Federal Communications Commission

Abstract

In this document, the Commission proposes a new DTV Table of Allotments ("DTV Table"), providing all eligible stations with channels for DTV operations after the DTV transition. The proposed DTV Table is based upon the tentative channel designations ("TCDs") announced for eligible broadcast licensees and permittees (collectively, "licensees") through the channel election process, along with our efforts to promote overall spectrum efficiency and ensure that broadcasters provide the best possible service to the public, including service to local communities. Once effective, the proposed DTV Table will guide stations in determining their build-out obligations. The proposed DTV Table will ultimately replace the existing DTV Table at the end of the DTV transition, when analog transmissions by full-power television broadcast licensees must cease.
