	Low Power Television (LPTV) Service
		This means LPTV stations must not cause interference to the reception of existing or future full-service television stations, must accept interference from full-service stations, and must yield to new full-service stations, where interference occurs.
		LPTV stations sometimes tailor program segments or entire schedules to specific viewer groups (on the basis of age, language or particular interest).
		LPTV stations are subject to a minimum of program-related regulations.

	FCC: No LPTV shield - 4/10/2000 - Broadcasting & Cable
		In all, there are roughly 2,200 LPTV outlets, which were first authorized in 1982 as a way to create opportunities for minorities, women and niche programmers who otherwise might not have access to the airwaves.
		LPTV signals reach roughly 15 to 20 miles from their transmission sites, while traditional full-power stations generally reach between 60 and 80 miles.
		Since their creation, LPTV licensees have operated as a secondary service, meaning they were forbidden from causing interference to full-power broadcasters.

		Prior to the official launch of LPTV services, the FCC had granted waivers to permit origination of programs in several instances, notably for rural educational programming in Upstate New York, and for the satellite-fed bush stations in Alaska, where there was no practical alternative for delivering television programming to isolated villages.
		LPTV service expanded just as the equipment manufacturers were introducing significant cost and feature improvements for all broadcast components.
		LPTV was designed to favor minority ownership, but only 8% described themselves as minority controlled.

	Servicio de Televisión de Baja Potencia (LPTV)
		El servicio de LPTV es un medio menos costoso y más flexible de transmisión de programas orientados a satisfacer los intereses de los televidentes en áreas pequeñas localizadas, en comparación con las transmisiones de las estaciones de TV tradicionales que ofrecen todos los servicios.
		Los modos de operación y programación de una estación de LPTV varían mucho y pueden ir desde la programación transmitida vía satélite, programas sindicados, películas y una gama amplia de programas producidos localmente.
		Las estaciones de LPTV algunas veces diseñan segmentos del programa o toda la programación para un grupo específico de televidentes (teniendo en cuenta la edad, lenguaje o interés particular).

		In both cases, LPTV applications must be subject to the same public proceedings as other licensees so that there is an opportunity for the community at large and stations in the market to comment.
		LPTV undertakings and conventional broadcasters should not have equal access to advertising revenues because they would not provide equivalent benefits or services, to either the community, or the Canadian broadcasting system.
		If LPTV stations are required to provide programming, unique to their individual communities, the CAB sees no reason to prohibit them from being licensed in markets already served by cable community channels.

		The lyrics were of questionable taste in LPTV's 'toned down" numbers and the songs they chose not to play were worse, or better depending on whom you ask.
		The biggest audience for 'LPTV was for 400 people at a private party and it also played the Grandin Theatre on "Punk Night," when slam dancers were "getting down" in earnest.
		You won't hear LPTV at Olde Salem Days again, but the band is putting out an album, "when our tax money comes next spring." and it has booked a gig for the Iroquois in Roanoke October 14.

		Congress has recognized – and the Commission has repeatedly noted – that not all LPTV stations can be guaranteed a certain future due to the emerging DTV service, and we do not think it is advisable to defer the ultimate displacement of LPTV operations to the detriment of new primary service licensees in the band.
		LPTV stations that are eligible under the statute for Class A status may be compelled to suspend operation, WLNY-TV claims, and if that happens, the station should retain its Class A eligibility upon locating to an in-core channel.
		Future LPTV and TV translator permittees and licensees that tendered new station applications during or subsequent to the August 2000 filing window and have been authorized to operate in the 700 MHz Band (TV channels 52-69) will be entitled to displacement relief only in order to eliminate or avoid interference conflicts.

		LPTV service began to expand as the equipment manufacturers were introducing significant cost and feature improvements for all broadcasting components.
		The slow and steady growth of LPTV is really an important point to investors, since LPTV is not some new and suddenly fashionable business that is likely to be a flash in the pan.
		LPTV is a solid business which has grown gradually over the past twenty years.....at a measured pace with no surprises.

	Well Connected - The Center for Public Integrity
		Since then low-power television service (LPTV) has grown to include 2,034 stations across the nation, and according to the FCC and the trade association that represents the industry it has been a tremendous success.
		The intent was to grant licensees permission to build and operate low-power television stations to serve the interests of their respective communities, allowing them to secure the rights to a part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
		Existing LPTV license holders will be allowed to apply for a second, digital channel, and begin using it before relinquishing their original analog channels.

		Second, CBA states that if two LPTV stations file for the same displacement channel and one of the applicants is able to identify an alternative substantially different channel for the other, the other should be required to amend its application to specify the alternative channel.
		The Urban LPTV Parties request that we not re-open filings for LPTV and TV translator stations until an adequate opportunity has been provided for incumbent licensees and permittees to appraise the likely impact of DTV implementation on their operations and to protect a new (displacement) channel through early filing.
		Los Cerezos Television Company (Los Cerezos) notes that, under the existing rules, a displaced LPTV station may not use the displacement rules to apply for any channel for which there is a pending mutually exclusive application, regardless of whether the pending application is for a new station or for modification of an existing station.

		Existing LPTV and TV translator stations are permitted to convert on their current channel (or "flash cut" to digital).
		Digital LPTV stations are subject to the same minimum video programming service requirement applicable to full power DTV and digital Class A television stations, meaning they must use some of their channel capacity to provide a free video programming service of at least NTSC quality to the general public.
		LPTV stations may use additional capacity to offer ancillary or supplementary services, as well as to offer multiple programming streams.

	Low-power broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		LPFM, LPAM, and LPTV are in various levels of use across the world, varying widely based on the laws and their enforcement.
		Many of the proponents of the new LPFM classes have been critical of the actual service.
		LPTV is common in the U.S., Canada and most of the Americas where stations are free to either originate their own programming, or to relay a main TV station as a broadcast translator.

		The coverage area of a typical LPTV station, depending on local geographical impediments, is from five to 20 miles.
		Kompas says there is no typical LPTV format; their missions vary widely, from spreading the gospel to delivering off-campus educational programming.
		But, he says, LPTV managers who think of their operations as community-based stations and use their programming to fill uniquely local needs are not uncommon.

		Quantitative and qualitative results that characterise the uncertainty types to which LPTV, closed-loop systems can be desensitised are established in terms of the gap metric, which is a measure of the distance between the graphs of two systems.
		This plays a crucial role in the development of the main quantitative robustness result, which identifies the largest gap-ball of LPTV plants, centred at a nominal plant, that a nominal, stabilising controller is guaranteed to stabilise.
		Qualitatively, it is established that the topology induced by the gap metric on quite a general class of LPTV systems, is the weakest with respect to which closed-loop performance varies continuously and closed-loop stability is a robust property.

		LPTV stations historically have been accorded only secondary interference protection, requiring them to accept interference from full-power stations.
		LPTV stations have managed to flourish despite the serious disadvantages of their uncertain interference status, but the current regulatory climate threatens the existence of many LPTV stations.
		Providing LPTV stations with greater certainty will increase the access of station owners to capital, which will permit them to broaden their program offerings, grow their industry, and improve service to their communities.

		LPTV stations have watched in horror as the FCC has consistently reaffirmed its official posi- tion on LPTV’s license status: Only full-powered TV stations deserve “primary status” among television licensees.
		As “secondary status” licensees, LPTV stations face eviction from the broadcast band while their full-powered NTSC brethren gobble up what remains of the spectrum for the transition to DTV.
		The petition was later revised and resubmitted to the FCC on Mar. 18 after a Cincinnati, Ohio, LPTV station was displaced by full-power station WLWT-DT on Channel 35.

		LPTV stations can provide their communities with local programming, and event/issue coverage in a smaller area than many TV stations.
		As LPTV signals are comparatively weak, LPTV stations don’t generally interfere with larger TV stations using the same frequency.
		LPTVs don't always license themselves which could be an issue.

		The Low Power Television Service (LPTV) was established by the Federal Communications Commission in 1982 primarily to provide opportunities for locally-oriented television service in small communities, both rural and individual communities within larger urban areas.
		LPTV presents a less expensive and very flexible means of delivering television programming tailored to the interests of viewers in small localized areas, thereby providing a means of local self-expression.
		In addition, LPTV has created abundant opportunities for new entries into television broadcasting, and it has permitted a fuller use of the broadcast spectrum.

	[imc-ithaca-altmedia] Ithaca LPTV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		While LPTV is being threatened by digital television in other parts of the country, Ithaca has a history of poor receiption and short-lived commercial TV broadcasters thus resulting in a fairly unique state of not having much competition.
		Saying that this is a big undertaking is an understatement, other LPTV stations seem to cost $25k on the low-end, but through talking to various techs in the field and investigating alternatives, I feel this cost can be dramatically reduced through replacing expensive hardware with free software-based solutions for some applications.
		One example is the required EAS (emergency alert system) decoder, which for LPTV is not required that we re-transmite EAS coding but we must either 1) cut transmittion during EAS national event, or 2) decode and provide video (crawling text) and audio messages on screen.

		As for digital deadlines, LPTV, TV translator, and Class A stations are required to convert to digital, but the FCC has not set a date for ceasing analog operations.
		In addition, licensees and permittees of LPTV, TV translator, and Class A stations will be allowed to seek a digital companion channel for their analog station operations.

		Contrary to the beliefs of some that LPTV stations are "mom and pop" operations existing to serve niche markets, many are affiliated with the major networks and offer their viewers the same mainstream programming being carried by their full-power equivalents.
		Byron St. Clair, a Colorado-based LPTV engineering consultant and one of the driving forces in the creation of LPTV service, was encouraged about the eventual digital shakeout in the low-power industry, explaining that on the whole, digital transmission would benefit LPTV broadcasters.
		Clair said that at present, no more than "a handful" of LPTV stations are broadcasting digitally and those that are performed flash cuts on their own volition.

		It was agreed that LPTV stations would be low-power and secondary, and would not cause interference to existing TV stations.
		Because LPTV stations and translators are secondary, they have to move out of the way if a full-power station comes along.
		But I would not be so optimistic about the LPTV stations on channels 43, 47 and 57 in Denver, or channels 8, 46 and 65 in Milwaukee, or on channel 53 in New York City.

		Since then, the TransGuide LPTV signal has been broadcasting under a Special Temporary Authority from the FCC and has been subject to the loss of the right to broadcast on UHF Channel 54 if the company that was granted the rights to Channel 54 decides to exercise its rights.
		After an investigation into available options to allow the continued broadcast of the TransGuide LPTV signal, TxDOT has been granted authority by the FCC to broadcast the TransGuide LPTV on UHF Channel 53 in the San Antonio area.
		It is TxDOT's intention to continue to broadcast the TransGuide LPTV signal with minimal interruptions, however, some down times will be experienced.
