WASHINGTON, D.C.—The FCC Media Bureau has announced that all rules implementing the Low Power Protection Act (LPPA) are in effect and that the one-year window for qualified low power television (LPTV) stations to apply for Class A status will open on May 31, 2024 and close on May 30, 2025 (LPPA Window).
Earlier, on December 12, 2023, the Commission released a Report and Order (Order) that adopted rules to implement the LPPA, which required the FCC to open a new filing window during which qualifying LPTV stations could apply for and receive Class A status that would protect LPTV stations from being bumped off-air by harmful interference.
