Absolutely.

The only restriction on subcarriers is injection levels, crosstalk to the main
carrier and other technical considerations.

It used to be that the main carrier must be programmed when a subcarrier was
in operation, but I think the FCC eliminated that requirement about 10 years
or so ago. I don't think (but check with a good broadcast attorney) that
there's even decency regulations imposed on subcarrier operations, since it
won't be available to the general public.

For those stations who wouwld want to do a good thing, one might even
consider giving a non-profit entity, like a local blind association, access
to a subcarrier for a reading service and the like, and thus the in-kind
contribution might be a no-cost writeoff of several thousand dollars a year
(but again, talk with a good tax attorney). --

Here's a piece of minutia.

Yesterday, we were approached about leasing a subcarrier on a translator we
own and operate.

Question...

Is it legal for a commercial translator to sell it's subcarriers for
revenue? I don't see this addressed directly in the rules? Any thoughts?

Thanks
