ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

On April 21, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division Bureau issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking NPRM in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by Sinclair Media, LLC
Petitioner, the licensee of KECITV, channel 13 NBC, Missoula, Montana, requesting the substitution of channel 20 for channel 13 at Missoula in the DTV Table of Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC regulations to substitute channel 20 for channel 13 at Missoula.
DATES: Effective July 23, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at 202
4181647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR
22929 on April 30, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of the petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 20. No other comments were filed. The Petitioner states that VHF channels have certain propagation characteristics which may cause reception issues for some viewers.
In addition, KECITV has received numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive the Stations over-theair signal, despite being able to receive signals from other stations. While the proposed channel 20 noise limited contour does not completely encompass the relevant channel 13 noise limited contour, Petitioner demonstrated there would be a loss of service to only 65
people, a number the Commission considers de minimis. In addition, KECITVs proposed channel 20 facility is predicted to serve a total of 252,689
persons, a net gain of 38,879 potential viewers over the existing KECITV
channel 13 facility. As the Bureau explained in the NPRM, it used the technical parameters of KECITVs original post-transition digital channel 13 facility File No. BPCDT
20080327AFR in determining any predicted loss which may occur.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

On May 17, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division Bureau issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking NPRM in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by WGEM License, LLC Petitioner, the licensee of WGEM
TV, channel 10 NBC, Quincy, Illinois, requesting the substitution of channel 19 for channel 10 at Quincy in the DTV
Table of Allotments. For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order referenced below, the Bureau amends FCC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR
28523 on May 27, 2021. The Petitioner filed comments in support of the petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 19, and Gray Television, Inc. filed comments in support. The Petitioner states that VHF
channels have certain propagation characteristics which may cause reception issues for some viewers. In addition, WGEMTV has received numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive the Stations over-theair signal. In addition, the Petitioner demonstrated that while the proposed channel 19 facility will result in a slight reduction in WGEMTVs noise limited contour, use of the Longley-Rice propagation model indicates that the proposed channel 19 facility will have an extended terrain-limited service throughout the gap area, and thus, there will be no loss of service.
