LPTV or television translator licensees who receive their license by competitive bidding must protect full power television stations from interference and will be subject to displacement by a full service television licensee. (See 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.3572a and 74.703b) An FM translator station will not be permitted to continue to operate if it causes interference to any authorized broadcast station, even if the translator licensee received its license by competitive bidding. (See 47 C.F.R section 74.1203a & b).
A winning bidder is awarded a construction permit, rather than a "license." A winning bidder is required, within a specified time period, to construct its facilities and file an application for a "license to cover construction permit" to obtain a license for the constructed facilities. (See 47 C.F.R. § 73.3598) Licenses are issued for an eight-year term.
- A 35 percent bidding credit is available to a winning bidder if it, and/or any individual or entity with an attributable interest in the winning bidder, has no attributable interest in any other media of mass communications, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 73.5008
- A 25 percent bidding credit is available to a winning bidder if it, and/or any individual or entity with an attributable interest in the winning bidder, has an attributable interest in no more than three mass media facilities, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 73.5008
- No bidding credit is available if any of the commonly owned mass media facilities serve the same area as the proposed broadcast station, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 73.5007, or if the winning bidder, and/or any individual or entity with an attributable interest in the winning bidder, has attributable interests in more than three mass media facilities
Bidding credits are not cumulative. A qualifying applicant receives either the 25 percent or 35 percent bidding credit, but not both. Attributable interests are defined in 47 C.F.R. § 73.3555 and Note 2 of that section.
