AT&T is endorsing a regional repack and calling on regulators to get cracking on a plan.

The broadcast team wants a do-over of the TV channel repack plan created by the Federal Communications Commission for the post-TV spectrum incentive auction signal shuffle.

The National Association of Broadcasters hasn’t been shy about sharing its thoughts on the impact certain elements of the upcoming spectrum repack could have on stations and viewers and it is continuing do so, this time in a visual medium.

Give us liberty from the 39-month repack deadline, or give us a waiver process, the National Association of Broadcasters told the FCC.

TV Technology gleaned some key points from the phased-in repack plan proposed by the Federal Communications Commission last Friday

Sutro Tower, home to nearly a dozen Bay Area TV stations, has retained the services of Osborn Engineering to study the effects that the FCC’s upcoming spectrum auction and possible channel repacking/sharing will have on Sutro Tower Inc.

It’s a given that there is going to be considerable “channel shuffling” after the upcoming television broadcast spectrum auctions.

After the FCC incentive auction is complete, likely before we transition to ATSC 3.0, many UHF TV stations will have to move to new channels.
