The FCC won’t reconsider its decision not to allow two Class A-eligible low power TV stations to participate in the incentive auction or protect them in the post-auction repack, denying it on procedural grounds as well as on the merits.
Class A “in core” (chs. 2-51) low-powers can participate in the auction, but only Class A-eligible stations (ones that have the ability to upgrade to Class A status) that had either filed for a construction permit by Feb. 22, 2012, when the incentive auction legislation took effect or had filed for a class A license by that date could participate.
