The next step of the FCC’s AM Translator Filing Period for the applications made between July 26 and August 2 has been revealed.
88 groups of filings have been considered to be mutually-exclusive to one another have been given until November 29 to reach settlement agreements. During that time stations may negotiate a settlement agreement to resolve those conflicts or file a minor change modification application. Any remaining MX filings will then go into auction as the FCC prepares to then launch the next filing window.
The MX groups each include groups of applications including 2-4 stations. The full list of MX groups can be seen here or RadioInsight Premium subscribers can see the data in our sortable table of all filings.
Would you opine this means the next filing window will be in Q1 2018? Seems like that deadline means they’re hot to trot to get these MX’s settled.
