rkolsen 1684 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I have a question. With the rise of the spectrum auction there are instances of low power digital stations electing to channel share with a full power station. The full power is either commonly owned or seperate. So I’m curious is there a method for the FCC to offer an upgrade path, have any stations channel sharing changed from low power to a full power license and is the FCC considering changing its rules to generate more revenue? One of the biggest benefits of upgrading your license if you’re channel sharing is that you then automatically can request cable and satellite carriage.

Weeters 1916 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I believe this is essentially a loophole, and the FCC doesn't really care that much about closing it. Riding on an existing full power signal won't create interference with anyone else or use up additional spectrum, and that's all they're really worried about Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16842-low-power-channel-sharing-stations-to-full-power-status/#findComment-218681 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if there was any indication as to if the FCC might change it.
