Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains FCC registered television broadcast structure locations. Digital and analog structures are included.
Purpose:
The data was created to serve as base information for use in GIS systems for a variety of planning and analytical purposes.
Supplemental_Information:
The previous version of this dataset varies greatly from the present version. Both the attribute table and feature count are quite different. These changes are due to a change in the way the FCC keeps this information in their database.

Process_Description:
This data was originally released by the Federal Communications Commission in July 2008 as two separate files, tvntsc.shp (analog structures) and tvdigital.shp (digital structures).The original data contained data for the entire United States.
Data was downloaded from the Federal Communications Commission website (<http://wireless.fcc.gov/geographic/index.htm?job=licensing_database_extracts>) in shapefile format in December 2008. When received the shapefiles were in the projection: Geographic, Datum: NAD 27, Spheroid: Clarke1866, Units: Decimal Degrees. Points for only the State of Florida were exported using the selection "STATE" = 'FL' and the data was projected to FGDL Albers HPGN. The analog and digital structure shapes were merged and a TYPE field was added denoting whether the structure is either "DIGITAL" or "ANALOG."
tv_digital.shp Selected based on "STATE" = 'FL' Removed 4 records located west of FL in Alabama Removed 1 record located north of FL in Alabama Removed 1 record located north of Tallahassee, FL in GA
tv_ntsc.shp Selected based on "STATE" = 'FL' Removed 3 records located west of FL in Alabama Removed 1 record located south of Florida in the Gulf of Mexico
- The original dataset names were tvntsc and tvdigital - The dataset was projected data to FGDL Albers. - Added the FGDLAQDATE field based on date downloaded from source - Added DESCRIPT item based on CALLSIGN. - All fields were upcased.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
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: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
