	INCREASE IN DTV EDUCATIONAL
	ANNOUNCEMENTS NOVEMBER 1ST
	Beginning November 1st, public broadcasters that have
	chosen DTV Consumer Education Option Three (the APTS
	plan) must air a minimum of 180 seconds per day of
closedcaptioned
	DTV transition-education PSAs, in variable timeslots,
	including at least 22.5 minutes per month between 6:00 p.m.
	and midnight. This requirement applies to each station's analog
	channel through shutoff and primary digital stream through
	March 31, 2009 for any station that then serves its full
	authorized service area. Any licensee that has requested or
	been granted an extension to serve less than its full authorized
	service area after March 31, 2009 must continue to broadcast
	the PSAs until its request for extension has been withdrawn or
	denied or until a granted extension has expired.
	In addition, any station that has not aired at least one 30-
	minute informational program on both its analog channel and
	primary digital stream between 8:00 a.m. and 11:35 p.m. must
	do so by February 17, 2009.
