The Association of Public Television Stations again said the interests of public TV stations must be protected during the repacking process following the broadcast spectrum incentive auction. The services provided by the stations include not only quality programming on-air and online, “but also any non-programming public services in education, public safety and information,” APTS said in an ex parte filing in FCC docket 12-268 (http://bit.ly/1jbnAF9). “Public television stations ensure the backbone for significant alert and warning and public safety work.” The filing recounted a meeting this week with Commissioner Mike O'Rielly and his acting media aide, Erin McGrath, it said.
