== Regulatory history ==
This rule was enacted in the original 2000 ''LPFM Report and Order'' with distance separation charts for LP-10 and LP-100 stations in respect to "all TV Channel 6 stations". Later that year in the ''Order on Reconsideration'', the FCC realized their calculation error and reduced the minimum distance separation table, clarified that table is for full-power TV stations and then added a separate table for protections to low power TV stations. In the 2012 ''Sixth Report and Order'', the LP-10 class of service was removed and the appropriate distance separation tables were removed.  In the 2020 ''LPFM Tech Order,'' a circulation draft of the order included a complete elimination of the rule, but due to some last minute protesting from WPVI, Philadelphia, the FCC tabled the complete repeal of the rule, instead opting for a rule that would allow LPFM stations to obtain letters of consent and to address the original request made by REC Networks in this proceeding to allow LPFM stations to use the FM translator to TV6 rule in lieu of the distance separations, by allowing contour studies by waiver request conditioned on the LPFM station advising the impacted TV 6 station of the application.
