In addition, the Petitioner submitted an analysis, using the Commission’s TVStudy software analysis program, demonstrating that the proposed channel change from channel 7 to 15 would result in a minimal loss of service to only 299 people currently predicted to receive KRCR’s signal. In addition, the Petitioner states that KRCR’s proposed channel 15 facility is predicted to serve a total of 517,605 people, a net gain of 30,175 potential viewers over the existing KRCR channel 7 licensed facility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support of its channel substitution request, the Petitioner states that the reception of VHF signals require larger antennas relative to UHF channels, and that studies suggest a large variability in indoor antennas, with most receiving fairly well at UHF and the substantial majority not so well to very poor for high-VHF channels. Petitioner further states that KTVL has received numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive that Station’s over-the-air signal, despite being able to receive signals from other stations. In its Amended Engineering Exhibit, the Petitioner demonstrated that while the proposed channel 16 noise limited contour does not completely encompass the channel 10 noise limited contour, there are three other CBS affiliated stations that serve all but 9,355 persons in the noise limited contour loss area. The Petitioner also submitted an analysis, using the Commission’s TVStudy software analysis program, demonstrating that after taking into account service provided by other CBS stations, all of the population located within KTVL’s channel 10 noise limited contour will continue to receive CBS service, resulting in no loss of network service.
