AT A GLANCE        

The National Translator Association is dedicated to the preservation of free over-the-air TV and FM in all geographical areas. It works to improve the technology of rebroadcast translators and the regulatory climate, which governs them.  Membership is open to all individuals and organizations that are interested in these goals.

The NTA evolved into a national organization from an earlier three state regional organization many years before the FCC expanded the scope of low power television to permit program origination as well as rebroadcasts.  It has continuously promoted the concept of universal free over-the-air TV and FM and represented the interests of translator operators before the FCC and other government agencies such as the Forest Service and the BLM.
