With the conclusion of the recent broadcast spectrum incentive auction, nearly 1,000 TV stations that did not participate in the auction must move to new frequencies. Many legislators have very little awareness of why this is happening and how complicated and expensive this process will be.
|
|
To prepare viewers and policymakers for stations' upcoming frequency moves, the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) is developing numerous resources for stations, including talking points, a checklist of activities, social media posts and customizable public service announcements.
