The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) updated its TV broadcast rules by moving channel 12 from Silver City to Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. This change follows a request from TV-49, Inc., which plans to build a television station and wants Truth or Consequences to be its main broadcasting area. The change complies with FCC's community coverage rules and has no additional paperwork requirements for small businesses.
Simple Explanation
Imagine there are two towns, Silver City and Truth or Consequences, and they share a TV station. Now, the decision has been made to move the station so that it works mainly for Truth or Consequences instead of Silver City, and everyone agreed that it was okay to do so.
