It is recommended to check out the fcc web page ( https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/low-power-television-lptv-service) Congress established a hard deadline of June 12, 2009, for full power TV stations to cease analog broadcasts and begin operating only in digital, and the Commission set a transition date of September 1, 2015, for Class A television stations to complete their transition, neither of these deadlines applied to low power television stations or TV translator stations. Therefore, although all full power and Class A television stations have ceased over-the-air analog broadcasting, LPTV stations are continuing to transmit analog signals. The FCC has established a new deadline for the termination of all analog operations by LPTV stations. That date is dependent upon the completion of the Commission’s incentive auction, which involves a repacking process that will displace some LPTV stations. Therefore, the Commission has determined to allow LPTV stations to wait until the incentive auction is complete before transitioning to digital. LPTV stations will have 12 months from the completion of the 39-month post-incentive auction transition (51 months from the completion of the incentive auction) to cease analog operations and begin operating in digital, at which point analog television will no longer exist in the United States. Until that time, LPTV stations may continue to operate their analog facilities. LPTV stations should monitor the Commission’s website ( www.fcc.gov) for more information on the status of the incentive auction and the establishment of an exact date for the completion of the LPTV digital transition.
