A 35 percent bidding credit was given to a winning bidder if it, and/or any individual or entity with an attributable interest in the winning bidder had no attributable interest in any other media of mass communications, as defined in 47 C.F.R. § 73.5008; and, 

However, attributable interests held by a winning bidder in existing low power television, television translator or FM translator facilities would not be counted among the bidders' other mass media facilities.
