- Abstract:
-
This dataset contains FCC registered television broadcast structure locations.
Previously both digital and analog structures were included. Television broadcast has since transitioned to all digital transmission. This is an update to the tvbcst_jun12 layer.
- Purpose:
-
Serve as base information for use in GIS systems for general planning,
analytical, and research purposes. It is not intended for engineering work
or to legally define reservation boundaries, FCC licensee data or FCC market
boundaries.

- Process_Description:
-
In 2012, the FCC stopped releasing its data as spatial data. Downloaded TV
Broadcast Stations using the TV Query Broadcast Station Search. Selected only
Florida stations with an output of Text file (no delimiters / no links). Downloaded
from (https://www.fcc.gov/media/television/tv-query) in February 2017. Copied all
records and pasted them into a text file. Saved as tvbroadcasts.txt.
- Opened and formatted tvbroadcasts.txt in Excel. Added field names using
tvbcst_jun12 and Data arrangement for Text file outputs
(https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/am-fm-tv-textlist-key). In 2009, all TV signals
transferred over from analog to digital. Populated the TYPE field with DIGITAL.
Saved coordinate fields as LATD, LATM, LATS, LATDIR, LOND, LONM, LONS,
and LONDIR
- Saved as .csv file
- Opened .csv in ArcMap and exported to a dbase table
- Added LATDD and LONDD fields using type = double. These fields will be used to
house the coordinates in decimal degrees. These field names were chosen
to mimic the coordinate fields in tvbcst_jun12.
- Used field calculator to convert coordinate fields from DMS to DD. The equation
for latitude (LATDD) was:
( [LATS] /3600) + ( [LATM] /60) + [LATD]
The equation for longitude (LONDD) was:
( [LONS] /3600) + ( [LONM] /60) + [LOND]
- Generated XY data using the LATDD and LONDD fields. The projection
was defined as WGS 1984.
TVBCST shapefile
- Projected the event layer to Albers_Harn using project tool and exported out
as shapefile
- Deleted fields not present in tvbcst_jun12
- Deleted one feature that fell outside of Florida. FACID 188832
- Added descript field based on CALLSIGN
- Added FGDLAQDATE based on the date GeoPlan acquired the data
- Added a LAT and LON field based on combination of LATD, LATM, LATS,
LATDIR, LOND, LONM, LONS, and LONDIR then deleted those field because
they are not present in the previous TVBCST shapefile
- Restructured table and uppercased all fields
Notes:
When the FCC generated this data set spatially in the past they limited the
lat/long fields to 4 decimals. Now that we are generating the spatial locations
the decimals have been left to the default value of the field type of double.
The result is a visible shift of 30-36 meters.

The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data
compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from
the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is
collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources)
who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in
FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the
data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees
about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check
with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'.
The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties
or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data
provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability
of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited
to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center
shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using,
modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets
are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes.
Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
county level.
1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such
as property parcel boundaries.
1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
multi-county or regional level.
1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the
regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be
considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data
before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been
made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional
information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact
section of this documentation. For more information regarding
scale and accuracy, see our webpage at:
