FCC Interference Pricing Model Projects $45 Billion in Proceeds That a station in Los Angeles, the No. 2 U.S. TV market, could beat out one in No. 1 New York likely is a reflection of the pricing model based on interference. Consequently, stations in smaller markets that are adjacent to large markets have higher valuations than others. E.g., the maximum estimated price for a full-power station in No. 148 Palm Springs, Calif.—two hours outside of L.A.—is $180 million, compared to No. 3 Chicago, where the high end was $130 million. Sellers' Coalition to Weigh in on Sinclair's Auction Lawsuit The group of stations looking to sell their spectrum at the federal incentive auction are preparing to weigh in on a lawsuit to stop it filed by Sinclair Broadcast Group.

Lawmakers Ask for GAO LPTV Auction Impact Study Under separate scenarios in which 84 and 126 MHz is auctioned, Eshoo and Barton want to know how many LPTV and translators may lose channels, how many could relocate and the associated costs, how many would go dark, and how many people would lost access to them. And what to do about it.
