[BC] ANOTHER TV Translator Question

[Dana Puopolo]

They aren't worth much these days. One thing you can do with translators
though is they can become LPTVs by basically just filing with the FCC. Once
they are a LPTV, if you run more then a certain amount of locally produced
programming they can then be re-licensed as community TV stations-which have
cable carriage rights.

Some networks will also affiliate with LPTVs. When this happens, then the
local cable system HAS to carry you or has to drop that network.

How does one determine the value of a TV translator?

A friend of mine is going to approach the government of a town that owns two
30 watt TV translators.
