TV Spacing Study

A TV Spacing Study is designed to determine whether a specific full-service NTSC or DTV TV transmitter facility proposal complies with the spacing criteria specified in Section 73.610 and 73.623 of the FCC Rules. The study is used primarily for allocation of full-service TV channels. If LPTV/TV translator entries are requested (see below), they are listed for information only; no required separation distance is indicated.

For each channel studied, the program retrieves all records pertinent to the study. The records consist of all geographically close co-channel and adjacent (+/- 1) channel records. Additionally, for UHF studies, UHF records which are +/- 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 14 & 15 channels from the channel being studied are retrieved according to Table II of Section 73.698 of the FCC Rules. If no records are found within this distance (plus the safety zone) for a given channel, the nearest record for that channel is retrieved and printed.

The records are then sorted by channel, and within each channel, by distance to the user-supplied site. Next, the actual report is compiled.

Each facility record entry on the report is accompanied by a required separation distance, if pertinent. This value is selected from the appropriate FCC Rules separation tables.

Customers must provide the following information to run this report:

• Job title

• Translators included or excluded
• Format (Analog or Digital)
• TV zone (from Section 73.609 of the FCC Rules)
• Safety zone (distance beyond required separations)
• Safety dB
