Butte, Montana
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
On April 26, 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
Licensee, LLC (Petitioner), the licensee
of KTVM–TV (NBC), channel 6, Butte,
Montana, requesting the substitution of
channel 20 for channel 6 at Butte 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 6 at Butte.
DATES: Effective July 23, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202)
418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
proposed rule was published at 88 FR
24837 on May 10, 2021. The Petitioner
filed comments in support of the
petition reaffirming its commitment to
apply for channel 20. REC Networks
also filed comments. The Petitioner
states that VHF channels have certain
propagation characteristics which may
cause reception issues for some viewers.
In addition, KTVM–TV has received
numerous complaints from viewers
unable to receive the Station’s 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 6 noise limited
contour, KTVM–TV is an NBC affiliate
and there are two other NBC affiliated
stations that serve some portion of the
loss area. In addition, the Petitioner

submitted an analysis, using the
Commission’s TVStudy software
analysis program, demonstrating that,
after taking into account service
provided by other NBC stations, all of
the population located within KTVM–
TV’s original post-DTV transition
channel 6 noise limited contour will
continue to receive NBC service, except
for 66 people, a number the Commission
considers de minimis. As the Bureau
explained in the NPRM, it used the
technical parameters of KTVM–TV’s
original post-transition digital channel 6
facility (File Nos. BPCDT–
20080314ADF; BLCDT–20090622ADT)
in determining any predicted loss which
may occur.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Report and Order, MB

This document does not contain
information collection requirements
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, Public Law 104–13. In addition,

2002, Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4). Provisions of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–
612, do not apply to this proceeding.
The Commission will send a copy of
this Report and Order in a report to be
sent to Congress and the Government
Accountability Office pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A).
