Sec.  74.982   Station identification.

   

   (a) Call signs for instructional television fixed stations will
   consist of three letters and three digits pursuant to the provisions
   of Sec. 2.302 of this chapter relating to fixed stations.

   (b) Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (c) and (d) of this
   section, each instructional television fixed station solely utilizing
   analog transmissions shall transmit its call sign at the beginning and
   end of each period of operation and, during operation, on the hour.
   Visual or aural transmissions shall be employed.

   (c) The hourly station identification announcement during operation
   may be deferred if it would interrupt a single consecutive
   demonstration, lecture, or other similar discourse or otherwise impair
   the continuity of a program in progress. In such cases the station
   identification announcement shall be made at the first normal break in
   the continuity of the program.

   (d) In cases where an instructional television fixed station is
   operating as a relay for signals originating at some other station
   operated by the same licensee, its call sign shall be announced by the
   originating station at the times and in the manner prescribed in
   paragraph (b) of this section.

   (e) Where an instructional television fixed station is operating as a
   relay for signals originating at a station operated by some other
   licensee, its call sign may be transmitted by the originating station,
   if suitable arrangements can be made with the other licensee, or means
   shall be provided for the transmission of the call sign by the relay
   transmitter itself. Low power relay stations, authorized by
   Sec. 74.950(f)(4) will not be assigned individual call signs. Station
   identification will be accomplished by the retransmission of the call
   sign of the primary station.

   (f) Temporary fixed ITFS stations shall identify with the call sign of
   the primary station and a temporary fixed identifier.

   (g) The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (e) of this section shall
   not apply to any ITFS licensee's station or transmissions where
   digital transmissions are utilized by the ITFS licensee on any of its
   licensed or shifted channels.
