Note: The total will be greater than the number of DTV stations as some stations have both licenses, construction permits and applications on file. Subtracting the STA Modification number from the number in STA (All variations) will give a more accurate indication of the number of DTV stations operating under STA. Since the November 20, 2003 posting the FCC has cleaned up the database and fixed the typos in the TV Domestic Status field. These typos caused the same status to have multiple slightly different names.
