Section II - CHANNEL ELECTION

All broadcast television licensees and permittees participating in the digital channel election process are required to file a channel election form.

First Round Channel Election:

a. 

Licensee/permittee makes the following channel election from its currently assigned (DTV or NTSC) channels

NOTE: Post-transition rights to other in-core channel(s) currently assigned to the licensee/permittee for this station are released upon licensee/permittee receipt of a Commission tentative channel designation.

 Indicate in-core channel number for final DTV operation here.

b.  Licensee/permitteee has entered into a Negotiated Channel Election Arrangement and, accordingly, makes the following channel election, subject to Commission approval:

Licensee/permittee must complete Schedule A.

If the Commission does not approve licensee/permittee's negotiated channel election arrangement, licensee/permittee makes the following channel election from its currently assigned (DTV or NTSC) channels:

NOTE: Post-transition rights to other in-core channel(s) currently assigned to the licensee/permittee for this station are released upon licensee/permittee receipt of a Commission tentative channel designation.		 Indicate in-core channel number for final DTV operation here.




Indicate alternate in-core channel number for final DTV operation here.

c.  Licensee/permittee makes no channel election; accordingly, licensee/permittee elects to participate in the second round of elections. This option may be selected only by licensees/permittees with only one in-core channel or with two low VHF channels (2-6).
