   subsidiaries, their officers, and members of their governing boards that
   would be cognizable under the standards in the notes to  Sec. 73.3555. Also an
   interest of an entity providing more than 33 percent of an applicant's
   equity and/or debt that also either (1) supplies more than 15% of the
   station's weekly programming, or (2) has an attributable interest pursuant
   to  Sec. 73.3555 in media in the same market.

   Established local applicant. An applicant that has, for at least the two
   years (24 months) immediately preceding application, met the definition of

   coordinates for the community to be served, or a governmental entity within
   its area of jurisdiction.

   Nonreserved (Unreserved) channels. Channels which are not reserved
   exclusively for noncommercial educational use, and for which commercial

   request to allocate a nonreserved channel as reserved pursuant to

   until release of a Commission decision granting such request.

   On-air operations. Broadcast of program material to the public pursuant to
   Commission authority, generally beginning with program test authority, for
   periods of time that meet any required minimum operating schedule, e.g.
    Sec. 73.561(a).

   Population. The number of people calculated using the most recent census
   block data provided by the United States Census Bureau.

   Reserved channels. Channels reserved exclusively for noncommercial
   educational use, whether by the portion of the spectrum in which they are
   located (i.e. FM channels 200 to 220) or by a case-by-case Commission
   allotment decision (channels that appear with an asterisk designation in the
   FM Table of Allotments ( Sec. 73.202) or TV Table of Allotments ( Sec. 73.606)).
