FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 7(II):

“The federal communications commission (fcc) conducted an auction of radio spectrum (the "auction") to repurpose some of the bandwidth used for television broadcasting and sell it to broadband service providers. The organization participated in the auction in a 50/50 partnership with klcs, a pbs affiliate, owned by the los angeles unified school district, offering klcs's spectrum with the agreement that if successful in the auction, klcs would share kcet's spectrum in the future. On january 13, 2017, a bid of $130,510,880 was accepted by the fcc for klcs's spectrum. On march 30, 2017, the fcc announced that the final phase of the incentive auction had concluded and winning bids would be paid. During the year ended 2017, kcet recorded a receivable of $65,255,440 for the organization's share of the auction proceeds. The fcc license is not recognized as an asset on the statement of financial position and, accordingly, the entire amount is reported as a gain. During july 2017, the organization collected $63,592,940 with the remaining balance to be collected after successful transition of spectrum.”
