FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 11-100; RM-11632, DA 11-1225]


Television Broadcasting Services; Eau Claire, WI

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed 
by Gray Television Licensee, LLC (``Gray''), licensee of WEAU-TV, 
channel 13, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, requesting the substitution of 
channel 38 for channel 13 at Eau Claire. The tower holding WEAU-TV's 
main antenna collapsed on March 22, 2011, which Gray must rebuild and 
also replace the station's transmission equipment. In addition, viewers 
have reported difficulties receiving the station's digital signal on 
channel 13 since the end of the digital transition. Substituting 
channel 38 for channel 13 will allow Gray to leverage the significant 
and unplanned cost of rebuilding the station.

DATES: Effective August 11, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce L. Bernstein, 
joyce.bernstein@fcc.gov, Media Bureau, (202) 418-1600.
