DTV Ancillary/Supplementary Services Reports Due
All digital full power, Class A, low power, and TV translator licensees (as well as permittees operating pursuant to an STA) are required to electronically file DTV Ancillary/Supplementary Services Reports (FCC Form 317) and indicate whether they have offered any “ancillary” or “supplementary” services during the prior year ending September 30. Stations that have provided such services and received compensation for such services must also remit 5 percent of the gross revenue derived from the services. (As of the date of publication of this calendar, the FCC has under consideration revision of the filing requirement such that only those stations that derive revenue from ancillary or supplementary services would be required to file the annual report.)
