Last week, the FCC announced that beginning August 20th, it will accept channel change applications for Class A, LPTV and TV translator stations. In making the announcement, the FCC said:
“The Media Bureau has announced that beginning August 20, 2024, the Commission will lift its current freeze on major modification applications and permit all Class A television (Class A), low power television (LPTV), and television translator stations (TV translator) stations, on a nationwide basis, to file major change applications in order to change their existing channel, subject to certain limitations. Applications will be processed on a first-come/first-served basis. In anticipation of this filing opportunity, we announce that the Commission’s Licensing and Management System (LMS) has been updated to make available for access major change applications for Class A, LPTV, and TV translator stations – FCC Form 2100, Schedule C (LPTV and TV translator stations) and FCC Form 2100, Schedule E (Class A stations)”
