The FCC has extended the deadline for filing C-Band satellite downlinks. Stations now have until Wednesday, October 17th to register their C-Band satellite.
Stations can register here:
SES, a C-band satellite operator, is offering to reimburse broadcast stations for the cost associated with the FCC filing fee required for C-band dish registration. National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) strongly urges stations to take advantage of this opportunity and register all C-band earth station dishes promptly while funding is available.
IBA Executive Director Dave Arland spoke with Bronnie Fisher of SES about the process.
