I asked the BMI rep about the music and he said if it was under one of the
music licensing groups like BMI, ASCAP, etc, if you pay your yearly fees you
are allowed to air them. You can’t sell them but you can air them.

With the Beverly Hillbillies shows that are PD, they must also be shown without
the real opening or closing theme songs. The real PD versions have alternate
instrumental music in place of the real theme.

Rick, that is the correct assessment.
Interestingly the same rule applies to all the other shows thought to be in the
PD: Beverly Hillbillies, Bonanza, the Superman cartoons, etc.

In reading it, it appears there were copyrighted shows before and after the
16 “PD” Andy Griffith shows, thus the plot, characters and locations were set
in the previous copyrighted material and only new plot, characters and
locations had become public domain. So maybe, and I am not a copyright lawyer,
if those 16 episodes where the “First” 16 episodes, copyright could not have
been claimed.

I heard a LPTV was threatened by a nearby high power, that he couldn't air the
same program that a high power station was airing. And he was complaining
about Beverly Hillbillies for crying out loud. The LPTV just took them off to
avoid trouble. But, this sounds over-the-top to me. I remember turning on
every channel playing the same shows, different episodes maybe, but either Law
and Order or NCIS. A fresh unique ensemble of programs would be welcome to the
communities. Anyone know about that, High Power TV Station has exclusive
rights when airing PD.

Wonder what it takes to convert a current transmitter or buy a new one?

Hi Jon,
This will help some LPTVs and hurt some LPTVs. LPTVs can be squeezed out by
full power stations. Some LPTVs can use this expand coverage.
I wonder if this would allow some LPTVs to gain cable carriage by adding a
second DTS transmitter within 35 miles of the cable headend.

I saw this article and curious whether this will have any effect on LPTV? As
LPTV service is secondary, could this push some LPTV stations to move or reduce
power?
