LPTV Class A Window to Open Feb. 9

The FCC’s one-year window for certain low-power TV stations to apply for Class A status will open Feb.9, according to a notice for Wednesday’s Federal Register. The window stems from the FCC’s implementation of the Low-Power Protection Act in December (see 2312080043), and is open only to LPTV stations that broadcast a minimum of 18 hours a day, carry three hours per week of local programming and are located in markets of 95,000 households or fewer.
