  • Notice of Adjustments to Service Obligations
    Served: May 12, 2020 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY WASHINGTON, D.C. CONTINUATION OF CERTAIN AIR SERVICE PURSUANT TO PUBLIC LAW NO. 116-136 §§ 4005 AND 4114(b) Docket DOT-OST-2020-0037 NOTICE OF ADJUSTMENTS TO SERVICE OBLIGATIONS Summary By this notice, the U.S. Department of Transportation (the Department) announces an opportunity for incremental adjustments to service obligations under Order 2020-4-2, issued April 7, 2020, in light of ongoing challenges faced by U.S. airlines due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency. With this notice as the initial step, the Department will use a systematic process to allow covered carriers1 to reduce the number of points they must serve as a proportion of their total service obligation, subject to certain restrictions explained below.2 Covered carriers must submit prioritized lists of points to which they wish to suspend service no later than 5:00 PM (EDT), May 18, 2020. DOT will adjudicate these requests simultaneously and publish its tentative decisions for public comment before finalizing the point exemptions. As explained further below, every community that was served by a covered carrier prior to March 1, 2020, will continue to receive service from at least one covered carrier. The exemption process in Order 2020-4-2 will continue to be available to air carriers to address other facts and circumstances. Background On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Recovery, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) into law. Sections 4005 and 4114(b) of the CARES Act authorize the Secretary to require, “to the extent reasonable and practicable,” an air carrier receiving financial assistance under the Act to maintain scheduled air transportation service as the Secretary deems necessary to ensure services to any point served by that air carrier before March 1, 2020.

  • DISH Network Satellite Television Brings Local TV Channels to Anchorage, Alaska
    DISH Network Satellite Television Brings Local TV Channels to Anchorage, Alaska Littleton, Colo., Aug. 28, 2003 – EchoStar Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH) announced today that its DISH Network™ now offers local TV channels by satellite television to Anchorage, Alaska. The following local TV channels will be offered: ABC Ch. 13 (KIMO), CBS Ch. 11 (KTVA), FOX Ch. 4 (KTBY), PAX Ch. 33 (KDMD), UPN Ch. 5 (KYES) and PBS Ch. 7 (KAKM). This is the first time local TV channels are available by satellite TV in the Anchorage area, providing an alternative to local cable TV service from General Communication Inc. (GCI) Cable. Local channels will be offered at a $1 per month discount to the regular price of $5.99 per month for DISH Network customers in Anchorage until the local NBC station is added to the package. Seattle NBC channel 5 (KING) will be offered to eligible subscribers in Anchorage in September who reside in an area unserved by local broadcasters. For those customers eligible to receive NBC Seattle, the regular local TV package price of $5.99 per month will take effect. Dish antenna sizes may vary depending on the location. "DISH Network customers now have a more affordable alternative to cable in Anchorage," said Michael Schwimmer, senior vice president of Programming at EchoStar. "DISH Network provides local news, weather and sports in 100 percent digital quality to viewers who should not be left with cable service as their only choice for local television." DISH Network offers local channels via satellite to Anchorage customers in three Alaska boroughs: Anchorage, Kenai Peninsula and Matanuska-Susitna.
