Sec. 73.6013 Protection of DTV stations.
Class A TV stations must protect the DTV service that would be provided by
the facilities specified in the DTV Table of Allotments in Sec. 73.622 of this
part, by authorized DTV stations and by applications that propose to expand
DTV stations' allotted or authorized coverage contour in any direction, if
such applications either were filed before December 31, 1999 or were filed
between December 31, 1999 and May 1, 2000 by a DTV station licensee or
permittee that had notified the Commission of its intent to “maximize” by
December 31, 1999. Protection of these allotments, stations and applications
must be based on not causing predicted interference within the service area
described in Sec. 73.622(e) of this part. The interference analysis is based on
the methods described in Sec. Sec. 73.623(c)(2) through (c)(4) of this part, except
that a Class A TV station must not cause a loss of service to 0.5 percent or
more of the population predicted to receive service from the DTV allotment,
station or application. An application to change the facilities of an
existing Class A TV station will not be accepted if it fails to protect
these DTV allotments, stations and applications in accordance with this
section.
