About this program
The Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) administered the Low-Power Television and Translator Digital-to-Analog Conversion program (CFDA 11.554) to fund conversion devices enabling low-power television stations to transmit incoming digital signals from their corresponding full-power stations in analog format on low-power analog channels. The program is inactive. The most recent grant award was disbursed on June 11, 2008—eighteen years ago. No recent grant opportunities are posted.
The program funded digital-to-analog conversion equipment as Project Grants exclusively. Between March and June 2008, NTIA awarded three grants totaling $102 thousand in federal obligations. Representative awards include $46 thousand to support a digital-to-analog conversion device (Project Grant NC08T81359, awarded May 7, 2008), $30 thousand for the same purpose (Project Grant WA08T81876, awarded June 11, 2008), and $26 thousand (Project Grant MN08T80573, awarded March 4, 2008). All three awards were completed by May 17, 2009.
NTIA was the sole funder across all three awards. The program shows no awards since 2008 and no posted solicitations. The funding envelope was modest—awards ranged from $26 thousand to $46 thousand—and the program operated for a discrete, time-bound period aligned with the federal digital television transition. The absence of awards in the eighteen years since 2008 and the absence of current opportunities indicate this program is closed or inactive. Pursuit is not recommended.
