Note: These totals do not include digital class A TV, low power TV or TV translator entries. The total will be greater than the number of DTV stations as some stations have licenses, construction permits and applications on file. Some stations also have licenses, construction permits or applications for backup facilities (auxiliary broadcast). Subtracting the STA Modification number from the number in STA (All variations) will give a more accurate indication of the number of DTV stations operating under STA, although STA records sometimes remain in the CDBS long after the licensed facility is operational.

A spreadsheet (dtvdb.zip) showing all DTV entries in the FCC CDBS TV engineering database files as well as a spreadsheet (tvdb.zip) showing he entire TV engineering database (large file, over 2 MB) extracted from the CDBS are available at www.xmtr.com/fcc/. The updated zip files were uploaded Thursday Aug. 9, 2007 and should carry that file date.
