 (1)    The increase in the base number of full service TV stations is the result of additional TV allotments specified in Appendix B, of the 7th MO&O, the new DTV Table of Allotments, released March 6, 2008.  This new table replaced the 1998 Digital Table of Allotments. 

 

The additional stations/allotments resulted from the grant of a number of TV applications over the past 9 years.

 

 

[1,814 DTV Channels granted as of the 7th MO & O released March 6, 2008 (Appendix B) and 3 additional channels granted after this release, bringing the total # DTV CHANNELS to 1,817].
