The Petitioner requests the substitution of channel 20 for channel 12 at in the DTV
Table of Allotments.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before November 1, 2021 and reply comments on or before November 15, 2021.
SUMMARY:

Federal Communications Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45
L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should serve counsel for the Petitioner as follows:

Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at 202

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support, the Petitioner states the proposed channel substitution serves the public interest because it will resolve significant over-the-air reception problems in WYMTTVs existing service area. The Petitioner further states that the Commission has recognized the deleterious effects manmade noise has on the reception of digital VHF signals, and that the propagation characteristics of these channels allow undesired signals and noise to be receivable at relatively farther distances compared to UHF
channels and nearby electrical devices can cause interference. While the proposed channel 20 facility is predicted to result in loss of service to 15,460 persons, less than 100 persons will continue to receive service from five other television stations, and those persons will continue to receive service from four other television stations.

for channel 8 at in the DTV Table of Allotments.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before November 1, 2021 and reply comments on or before November 15, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support, the Petitioner states the proposed channel substitution serves the public interest because it will resolve significant over-the-air reception problems in KNOEs existing service area. The Petitioner further states that the Commission has recognized the deleterious effects manmade noise has on the reception of digital VHF signals, and that the propagation characteristics of these channels allow undesired signals and noise to be receivable at relatively farther distances compared to UHF channels and nearby electrical devices can cause interference. Finally, the Petitioner states that the proposed channel 24 noise limited contour extends beyond the current channel 8
noise limited contour, and thus, no existing viewers will lose service and an additional 12,868 persons would gain service if the channel substitution is granted.
