FCC ANNOUNCES DETAILS FOR 
JUNE 25, 2012 TV BROADCASTER RELOCATION FUND WORKSHOP
Washington, D.C.:  The Commission today announced details for its June 25, 2012 
repacking cost workshop.  The focus of this workshop will be the design of the Commission’s 
program to reimburse the costs that some broadcasters are likely to incur as a result of channel 
reassignments in connection with the repacking authorized by the 2012 Spectrum Act.  The Act 
established a $1.75 billion TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund from which the Commission is to 
reimburse those costs when the broadcast spectrum is repacked following the FCC’s first 
incentive auction.  Panelists will discuss the categories of costs that they believe the FCC should 
consider when designing the program.  They will also discuss possible models and lessons 
learned from similar programs that paid the relocation expenses of spectrum incumbents that 
were assigned new frequencies. 
The workshop will be held in the Commission Meeting Room at the FCC’s headquarters in 
Washington, DC.  It is free and open to the public, with seating available on a first-come, first-
served basis.  The session will be broadcast live over the Internet at http://www.fcc.gov/live.  
Questions from the Internet audience can be submitted via email to incentiveauctions@fcc.gov
and via Twitter using the hashtag, #fcclive.
