eLMS: application
This is the lead table for all eLMS supported applications. Older applications such as CDBS, BAPS and REC Radio History Project as well as international broadcast station applications handled through IBFS will start using the tables:
- applist_am
- applist_dtv
- applist_kidvid
- applist_fm
- applist_repack
- applist_dtv
The column lms_application_id will be the link to most of the other eLMS tables.
Assignment of license/Transfer of Control (ALTC) applications:
ALTC applications (purpose codes “AGN” and “TC”) will have a “skeleton” record in application. Most information about these applications are in the altc_applicant, altc_details and altc_facility tables. Like renewals, ALTC applications use “child facilities” to allow for multiple facilities to be included on a single application. Only the head file number will be shown in application.
