Sec. 74.763 Time of operation.
(a) A low power TV, TV translator, or TV booster station is not required to
adhere to any regular schedule of operation. However, the licensee of a TV
translator or TV booster station is expected to provide service to the
extent that such is within its control and to avoid unwarranted
interruptions in the service provided.
(b) In the event that causes beyond the control of the low power TV or TV
translator station licensee make it impossible to continue operating, the
licensee may discontinue operation for a period of not more than 30 days
without further authority from the FCC. Notification must be sent to the FCC
in Washington, DC, Attention: Video Division, Media Bureau, not later than
the 10th day of discontinued operation. During such period, the licensee
shall continue to adhere to the requirements in the station license
pertaining to the lighting of antenna structures. In the event normal
operation is restored prior to the expiration of the 30 day period, the FCC
in Washington, DC, Attention: Video Division, Media Bureau, shall be
notified in writing of the date normal operations resumed. If causes beyond
the control of the licensee make it impossible to comply within the allowed
period, a request for Special Temporary Authority (see Sec. 73.1635 of this
chapter) shall be made to the FCC no later than the 30th day for such
additional time as may be deemed necessary.
(c) Failure of a low power TV, TV translator, or TV booster station to
operate for a period of 30 days or more, except for causes beyond the
control of the licensee, shall be deemed evidence of discontinuation of
operation and the license of the station may be cancelled at the discretion
of the FCC. Furthermore, the station's license will expire as a matter of
law, without regard to any causes beyond control of the licensee, if the
station fails to transmit broadcast signals for any consecutive 12-month
period, notwithstanding any provision, term, or condition of the license to
the contrary.
(d) A television broadcast translator station shall not be permitted to
radiate during extended periods when signals of the primary station are not
being retransmitted.
