Using the collective name Local
Television Broadcasters, and summarizing its argument, the group wrote, "Television broadcasting represents the highest and best use of the spectrum in the public interest. To remain competitive in
the media marketplace, television broadcasters must have the ability to innovate... The channel-sharing and service area reductions contemplated in the Public Notice would take this ability away from
broadcasters and likely result in widespread viewer reception difficulties."
LCB concludes that broadcasters need their spectrum to continue to adapt, compete and respond to public demand
going forward.
