DTV status update

摘要

In June, the FCC moved towards completion of Round One of the DTV channel election process by approving 25 negotiated channel agreements, rejecting 12 and sending more than 150 letters to stations whose channel elections would result in impermissible interference. The recipients of those letters were given 60 days to notify the FCC on how the interference conflict will be resolved. The FCC also issued tentative DTV channel designations for 1554 stations participating in the first round of channel elections. The commission currently expects to wrap up Round One this summer, clearing the way for Round Two elections in the fall, possibly as early as September. The FCC's ultimate goal is to issue a new DTV Table of Allotments by August 2006.
