Channel Sharing Webinar

3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
FCC Commission Meeting Room

On June 12, 2015, the Commission released the First Order on Reconsideration1 modifying the rules for the reverse auction channel sharing bid option in order to provide broadcasters greater flexibility and certainty regarding Channel Sharing Agreements. As part of the Commission’s ongoing outreach effort to broadcasters regarding the incentive auction, the Incentive Auction Task Force and the Media Bureau will host a webinar about the channel sharing bid option.

*This webinar was originally scheduled for July 22, 2015.

Topics covered will include a discussion of the revised channel sharing rules, FCC Channel Sharing Agreement requirements, the bidding process for licensees interested in channel sharing, and the post-auction licensing process. Participants will have an opportunity to submit questions during the webinar to incentiveauctions@fcc.gov
