Abstract: On April 29, 2005, the Commission proposed amendments to 47 CFR 76.66 to implement Section 210 of the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 ("SHVERA"). In general, the SHVERA amends this section to require satellite carriers to carry both the analog and digital signals of television broadcast stations in local markets in noncontagious states (including Alaska and Hawaii), and to provide these signals to substantially all of their subscribers in each station's local market by December 8, 2005 for analog signals and by June 8, 2007 for digital signals. On March 28, 2005, the Commission adopted an Order, FCC 05-81, Implementation of the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reuthorization Act of 2004 ("SHVERA"), Procedural Rules, to implement procedural rules as required by the SHVERA.
