Clinton pushes fees for not returning analog channels by 9/2000. It could boost DTV conversion, but it won't fly...................... skyreport.com Broadcasters Face Analog Signal Fee Network broadcasters could pay the federal government fees totaling at least $200 million by September 2000 for the right continue using analog TV spectrum under a Clinton Administration plan revealed Monday. The proposal, submitted to Congress as part of Clinton's fiscal year 1999 budget proposal, is aimed at encouraging broadcasters to switch to new digital broadcasting technology. It would require the Federal Communications Commission to set fees for each broadcaster, reaching a minimum total of $200 million. A station would be exempt from fees if it hands back its analog TV license and airs only digital signals. The broadcast lobby has successfully fought off fee proposals for digital television spectrum in the past. Lease fees for analog channels will likely meet stiff opposition, but at press time the National Association of Broadcasters had no immediate comment.
