The FCC said Friday afternoon that the forward auction has come to an end, with $19.6 billion raised, the second highest total proceeds of any commission spectrum license auction in its 20-plus year history, according to the FCC.

       Of that total, broadcasters will receive about $10 billion, with $1.75 billion going to other broadcasters that incur costs in changing channels in the post-auction spectrum repack. More than $6 billion will go to the U.S. Treasury for deficit reduction.
