Needs and Uses: 47 CFR 76.54(b) states significant viewing in a
cable television or satellite community for signals not shown as
significantly viewed under 47 CFR 76.54(a) or (d) may be demonstrated
by an independent professional audience survey of overtheair
television homes that covers at least two weekly periods separated by
at least thirty days but no more than one of which shall be a week
between the months of April and September. If two surveys are taken,
they shall include samples sufficient to assure that the combined
surveys result in an average figure at least one standard error above
the required viewing level. 47 CFR 76.54(c) is used to notify
interested parties, including licensees or permittees of television
broadcast stations, about audience surveys that are being conducted by
an organization to demonstrate that a particular broadcast station is
eligible for significantly viewed status under the Commission's rules.
The notifications provide interested parties with an opportunity to
review survey methodologies and file objections. 47 CFR 76.54(e) and
(f), are used to notify television broadcast stations about the
retransmission of significantly viewed signals by a satellite carrier into these stations' local market.
