WASHINGTON—The FCC Media Bureau has announced that the filing window to apply for construction permits to launch 12 new noncommercial educational television stations will be open from Dec. 4-11.
As part of the announcement, the Media Bureau also laid out filing procedures and requirements for applying for the stations, to be located in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Idaho, Iowa, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Virginia.
