§ 74.632 Licensing requirements.
(a) Licenses for television pickup, television STL, television
microwave booster, or television relay stations will be issued only to
licensees of television broadcast stations, and broadcast
network-entities and, further, on a secondary basis, to licensees of
low power television stations. A separate application is required for
each fixed station and the application shall be specific with regard to
the frequency requested. A mobile station license may be issued for any
number of mobile transmitters to operate in a specific area or
frequency band and the applicant shall be specific with regard to the
frequencies requested.
(b) A license for a TV relay station may be issued in any case where
the circuit will operate between TV broadcast stations either by means
of "off-the-air" pickup and relay or location of the initial relay
station at the studio or transmitter of a TV broadcast station.
(c) An application for a new TV pickup station shall designate the TV
broadcast station with which it is to be operated and specify the area
in which the proposed operation is intended. The maximum permissible
area of operation will generally be that of a standard metropolitan
area, unless a special showing is made that a larger area is necessary.
(d) Licensees who have two or more TV broadcast stations located in
different cities shall, in applying for a new TV pickup station,
designate the TV broadcast station in conjunction with which it is to
be operated principally. Operation in a city which is not the city of
license of the associated TV broadcast station is on a secondary,
non-interference basis to home-city users.
(e) A license for a TV translator relay station will be issued only to
licensees of low power TV and TV translator stations. However, a
television translator relay station license may be issued to a
cooperative enterprise wholly owned by licensees of television
broadcast translators or licensees of television broadcast translators
and cable television owners or operators upon a showing that the
applicant is qualified under the Communication Act of 1934, as amended.
(f) Licensees of TV pickup, TV STL, TV relay, and TV translator relay
stations may be authorized to operate one or more TV microwave booster
stations for the purpose of relaying signals over a path that cannot be
covered with a single station.
(g) In case of permanent discontinuance of operations of a station
licensed under this subpart, the licensee shall cancel the station
license using FCC Form 601. For purposes of this section, a station
which is not operated for a period of one year is considered to have
been permanently discontinued.
