FCC Unveils Incentive Auction Informational Website

The FCC created a new informational website for the incentive auction, to “fully inform” consumers and “other interested parties,” the Incentive Auction Task Force said in a blog post Friday. It said the website includes a range of materials that explain “why the Commission is conducting the auction, how the auction can benefit the public, how the process works, and what consumers will need to do to continue enjoying over-the-air television stations once the auction concludes.” The site will be “a key component of the Commission’s post-auction consumer education efforts to ensure a smooth transition for over-the-air TV viewers,” the blog post said.
