FCC may grant another LPTV construction permit for Evansville

DTV America Corp.'s proposed station would broadcast on Channel 12

The FCC today released a list of proposed digital low-power TV (LPTV) construction permits, and on the list is one for Evansville.

DTV America Corporation of Sunrise, Fla., filed an application on Nov. 3, 2010, seeking the Commission's permission to build a 3,000-watt low-power station on Channel 12 to serve the Tri-State's largest city, and, if there are no objections within the next 30 days, the company should receive its permit to build.

If the as-yet-unnamed station is built, it would broadcast from South Central Media's tower on Mt. Auburn Rd. next to the radio company's studios. It would cover an area from far eastern White Co., Ill. to Tennyson, Ind. west to east, and from Princeton, Ind. to roughly the Ohio River north to south.

It's unclear what type of programming the station would broadcast if built, but I'll keep looking for that information.

The proposed Channel 12 station would be the third new LPTV station in the area given the go-ahead in the recent past.  Christian broadcaster EICB-TV East, LLC was cleared to build one of its stations on Channel 19 (W19DL-D) in June 2010, and DTV America 1, LLC was given permission to build W27DH-D on Channel 27 around the same time.  Neither of those stations are yet on the air, and the status of their plans is unknown.
