The FCC Media Bureau has officially lifted the freeze on LPTV applications, opening the door for stations to file for new displacement relief and technical changes.

This action follows years of advocacy from across the LPTV community, and we want to extend our sincere thanks to the Media Bureau and Commission staff for their thoughtful work. By balancing perspectives and listening closely to stakeholders, they have given the LPTV community exactly what we asked for—a chance to grow and adapt in today’s media environment.
