The FCC will soon open a window allowing "eligible" low power TV (LPTV) stations to apply for Class A status. The window will be open for 1 year. One criterion to be eligible is the licensed LPTV station must be operating in a DMA having no more than 95,000 TV households.
The FCC is opening a filing window for new non-commercial educational FM (NCE-FM) radio stations from 11/2/21 through 11/9/21.

FCC Sets 84 MHz Clearing Target for Stage IV of Auction tvtechnology.com/news/0002/f…
The FCC expects to release a PN on December 9th announcing details about Stage 4, including the clearing target which should be 84 MHz.
As we expected, Stage 3 of the Forward Auction failed today with proceeds only reaching $19.7B which falls well short of the $40.3B required
Stage 3 of the Reverse Auction concluded at $40.3B which means it will likely fail and move on to Stage 4 which we believe will succeed.
