(WYOW) is already allotted to Eagle
River. The Commission concludes the
request to amend the Post-Transition
Table of DTV Allotments warrants
consideration. The Petitioner’s proposal
would result in a second local service to
Eagle River consistent with the
Commission’s television allotment
policies. Channel 26 can be allotted to
Eagle River, consistent with the
minimum geographic spacing
requirements for new DTV allotments in
section 73.623(d) of the Commission’s
rules, at 45°55′28.9″ N and 89°15′28.5″
W. In addition, the allotment point
complies with section 73.625(a)(1) of
the rules as the entire community of
Eagle River is encompassed by the 48
dBm contour. Since the proposed facility
is located within the Canadian
coordination zone, concurrence from
the Canadian government must be
obtained for this allotment.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21–157;
RM–11902; DA 21–438, adopted April
16, 2021, and released April 16, 2021.
