The FCC has told winning bidders from last summers Low Power TV Auction No. 81 that they're cleared for approach, and may begin taking the steps toward build out. The big winner was Charles C. Townsent III, who picked up nine CPs in nine different and extremely far-flung states - - ranging from Delaware and Maine to California and Alaska and many points in between. Telecom Wireless picked up six. Bid balances were due last Friday, 3/31/06, but winners who missed that deadline have until 4/14/06 per the usual grace period.
