Low-Power DTV Transition Date Now Suspended, FCC Says

FCC suspension of the non-Class A low-power DTV transition deadline took effect Friday, said an agency notice in that day's Federal Register. The deadline was Sept. 1 (see 1504270043), the Media Bureau noted. "Until a decision is reached in the rulemaking and the Commission can determine the effect of the future incentive auction and repacking, LPTV and TV translator stations may delay completing construction of their digital facilities." Class A's must transition by Sept. 1, the bureau said.
