As part of the broadcast spectrum incentive auction, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is authorized to repack the television band, so it can sell channels 38-51 (614-698 MHz) to wireless carriers. This will be accomplished by assigning some television stations to new channels (Repack). Repacked television stations will need to complete channel moves. Radio stations and non-repacked television stations may also be affected if they are located on or near a tower with a repacked television station.
On April 13, the FCC released a public notice announcing the results of the auction and outlining which stations will be moving along with their new channel assignments. Nearly 1,000 stations will be moved to new channels. The first station moves will begin in November 2018.

SBE 66 Secretary-Treasurer Steve Dresser has provided the following chart as to what the Fresno Area TV dial MIGHT look like when the TV Repack is finally completed. Note that some of the Cocola LPTV’s and Ventura LPTV are still in application mode.
