The FCC will begin a new FM auction on Nov. 1. A total of 173 allotments will be available; 143 are new and 30 remain unsold from the previous FM auction.
Auction No. 62 will use the FCC’s Integrated Spectrum Auction System, a redesign of the previous auction application and bidding systems. The commission says it has enhanced the FCC Form 175 application search function. The agency also updated the auction bidding system for easier navigation, customizable results, and improved functionality.
Expect a procedures notice to be out in June with a filing window in August.
Comments on DA No. 05-1076 are due April 29.
