    Hosting a Lifeway Simulcast What is a Simulcast? A Simple Answer — a simulcast is a live internet broadcast of an event from a single venue into multiple venues – such as your own environment. Thus a simultaneous event occurs in both the origin venue and in many satellite locations — your church, home or laptop! What do I need to host a Simulcast? In order to host a simulcast you need to make sure you have the following: • An Internet Connection • A desktop or laptop computer • A mobile phone or tablet Internet Connection Your Internet connection should be one of the following: • DSL — service is faster than dial up and runs through your phone line • Broadband or Cable Modem — this is a dedicated line from your cable service What is the minimum connection speed that you recommend? We recommend that the minimum connection be 700kbps (1MB for good quality; 2.5mpbs for best quality) download speed. You may test your connection’s speed by going to http://www.speedtest.net. If your download speed is less than the suggested minimum, then you have the following options: • Connect at the lowest speed we broadcast with (500k) and understand that the quality of the stream may be a bit less than you are used to. • Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and request a faster connection. In some cases, your current service provider may offer a higher rate of speed for the same rate you are already playing. Computer These are the suggested requirements for your PC or Mac for a successful webcast: Software Requirements: Browsers We recommend a “neutral” browser, or one that doesn’t depend on the operating system of your computer.

  • Response to FCC Inquiry Re WSAW-TV
    December 2, 2016 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th St., S.W. Washington, DC 20554 RE: Response to Inquiry from FCC Staff Gray Television License, LLC, MB Docket No. 16-293 Dear Ms. Dortch: On behalf of Gray Television Licensee, LLC (“Gray”), I hereby provide responses to questions forwarded by Mr. Evan Baranoff via e-mail on November 21, 2016. As discussed in Gray’s Petition for Special Relief (the “Petition”), Gray’s WZAW-LD is the Fox affiliate for the Wausau- Rhinelander Designated Market Area (“DMA”). Gray simulcasts the WZAW-LD programming on one of its three digital subchannels for WSAW-TV. Granting the Petition will ensure that DIRECTV and DISH Network can secure the necessary copyright license to retransmit WSAW- TV’s Wisconsin-based and Wisconsin-focused programming in Ashland and Iron Counties, including providing a copyright license for the programming from WSAW-TV’s Fox-affiliated digital subchannel. 1. Explain the legal authority (both under Communications and Copyright laws) that would allow satellite carriage of the programming on WZAW-LP (Fox) if a market modification for WSAW was approved. Gray is not requesting that the FCC allow satellite carriage of the Fox-affiliated primary program stream of low power station WZAW-LD. Instead, Gray is requesting that the FCC modify the market of full power, commercial television station WSAW-TV. Upon grant of its Petition, Gray would elect retransmission consent for WSAW-TV in Ashland and Iron Counties.1 Gray then would 1 Amendment to the Commission’s Rules Concerning Market Modification, Report and Order, 30 FCC Rcd 10406, 10427 (2015) (“STELAR Order”) (“[W]hen a station’s market is modified for purposes of satellite carriage, then the station is entitled to elect either retransmission consent pursuant to Section 325 or mandatory carriage pursuant to Section 338 with respect to the new community or communities added to its market by the modification.”).
