SPANISH BROADCASTING SYSTEM, INC. Nancy A. Ory Paul A. Cicelski Laura M. Berman Lerman Senter PLLC 2001 L Street NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20036 Tel. (202) 429-8970 April 19, 2017 Their Attorneys -ii- SUMMARY In this Petition, WSBS Licensing, Inc. and its parent company Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.

  • Ex Parte Notice: GN Docket No
    Via ECFS July 3, 2017 Ms. Marlene H. Dortch Secretary Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Ex Parte Notice: GN Docket No. 16-142, Authorizing Permissive Use of the “Next Generation” Broadcast Television Standard Dear Ms. Dortch: On June 29, 2017, the undersigned along with Rebecca Hanson – Sr. Vice President for Strategy and Policy for Sinclair Broadcast Group, Mark Aitken – Vice President for New Technology, Sinclair Broadcast Group and John Hane – outside counsel with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman met with members of the Commission staff to discuss the issues raised in the above- captioned proceeding. A list of those in attendance is attached. The presentation focused on the tension that appears to undergird most of the issues raised in the proceeding: how does the Commission maintain universal service while also enabling innovation? That concern permeates virtually all the issues raised in the NPRM and is significantly complicated by not having a transitionary second channel to support the deployment of the new, non-backward compatible standard. The Commission, broadcasters and other stakeholders must do the best they can within that constraining framework. We noted that true universal broadcast service does not exist today. The current ATSC 1.0 standard, based on the 8 VSB modulation protocol, does not work well inside buildings or support mobile reception. Those deficiencies disenfranchise millions of viewers, who expect their communications services to work everywhere. The ATSC 3.0 (“Next Gen”) standard overcomes those deficiencies. But bridging the gap between ATSC 1.0 and Next Gen without dedicated transition channels necessitates some temporary tradeoffs.
