Proposed Rules
Federal Register
Vol. 86, No. 31
Thursday, February 18, 2021
This section of the FEDERAL REGISTER
contains notices to the public of the proposed
issuance of rules and regulations. The
purpose of these notices is to give interested
persons an opportunity to participate in the
rule making prior to the adoption of the final
rules.
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 21–10; RM–11873; DA 21–
41; FR ID 17400]
Television Broadcasting Services
Jefferson City, Missouri
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking filed by KRCG
Licensee, LLC, (Licensee), licensee of
KRCG, channel 12, Jefferson City,
Missouri, requesting the substitution of
channel 29 for channel 12 at Jefferson
City in the DTV Table of Allotments.
The Licensee states that the Commission
has recognized that VHF channels have
certain propagation characteristics
which may cause reception issues for
some viewers, and also that reception of
VHF signals require larger antennas that
are generally not well suited to the
mobile applications expected under
flexible use, relative to UHF channels.
KRCG has received numerous
complaints from viewers unable to
receive the Station’s over-the-air signal,
despite being able to receive signals
from other stations and that its channel
substitution proposal will result in more
effective building penetration for indoor
antenna reception and will also greatly
improve the Station’s ability to provide
ATSC 3.0 service to homes, vehicles and
portable devices, etc. Licensee further
states that operation on channel 29 will
not result in any predicted loss of
service and would result in a substantial
increase in signal receivability for KRCG
viewers.
