Abstract
This document disposes of the petitions for reconsideration filed in response to the Seventh Report and Order in this digital television ("DTV") Table of Allotments proceeding and also addresses the comments filed in response to the Eighth Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding. This document finalizes the post- transition DTV table and provides all eligible stations with a channel for digital operation after the transition from analog to digital television in February 2009. This document makes several changes to the DTV Table in response to petitions for reconsideration and comments and establishes in Appendix B the parameters for post-transition operation by television broadcasters.
