▪ Applicants may request funds to convert radio stations to digital broadcasting. Digital conversion applications may request digital transmitters, digital exciters to upgrade digital-ready transmitters, and digital production equipment. These applications are placed in Subpriority C of the Broadcast Other category. See Section I, B, 2b of the Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) announcement. ▪ Applicants may request a digital-upgradable transmitter to replace an analog transmitter or may request fully compliant IBOC digital transmitters. Applicants should read carefully the discussion of this subject in Section I, B, 2b of the FFO. ▪ Applications for digital conversion must include the applicant’s conversion plan, including its plans, if any, to use the Program Associated Data or Supplemental Audio Channel when authorized by the FCC.
