Television Broadcasting Services
Missoula, Montana
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
On April 21, 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, LLC
(Petitioner), the licensee of KECI–TV,
channel 13 (NBC), Missoula, Montana,
requesting the substitution of channel
20 for channel 13 at Missoula 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 13 at Missoula.
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 86 FR
22929 on April 30, 2021. The Petitioner
filed comments in support of the
petition reaffirming its commitment to
apply for channel 20. No other
comments were filed. The Petitioner
states that VHF channels have certain
propagation characteristics which may
cause reception issues for some viewers.
In addition, KECI–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 13 noise limited
contour, Petitioner demonstrated there
would be a loss of service to only 65
people, a number the Commission
considers de minimis. In addition,
KECI–TV’s proposed channel 20 facility
is predicted to serve a total of 252,689
persons, a net gain of 38,879 potential
viewers over the existing KECI–TV
channel 13 facility. As the Bureau
explained in the NPRM, it used the
technical parameters of KECI–TV’s
original post-transition digital channel
13 facility (File No. BPCDT–
20080327AFR) in determining any
predicted loss which may occur.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
On May 17, 2021, the Media
Bureau, Video Division (Bureau) issued
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) in response to a petition for
rulemaking filed by WGEM License,
LLC (Petitioner), the licensee of WGEM–
TV, channel 10 (NBC), Quincy, Illinois,
requesting the substitution of channel
19 for channel 10 at Quincy 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 19 for
channel 10 at Quincy.
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 86 FR
28523 on May 27, 2021. The Petitioner
filed comments in support of the
petition reaffirming its commitment to
apply for channel 19, and Gray
Television, Inc. filed comments in
support. The Petitioner states that VHF
channels have certain propagation
characteristics which may cause
reception issues for some viewers. In
addition, WGEM–TV has received
numerous complaints from viewers
unable to receive the Station’s over-theair signal. In addition, the Petitioner
demonstrated that while the proposed
channel 19 facility will result in a slight
reduction in WGEM–TV’s noise limited
contour, use of the Longley-Rice
propagation model indicates that the
proposed channel 19 facility will have
an extended terrain-limited service
throughout the gap area, and thus, there
will be no loss of service.

AGENCY:
On April 21, 2021, the Media

rulemaking filed by Sinclair Media
Licensee, LLC (Petitioner), the licensee

filed comments in support of the
petition reaffirming its commitment to

In addition, KRCR has received
numerous complaints from viewers
unable to receive the Station’s over-theair signal, despite being able to receive
signals from other stations. The
Petitioner also submitted an analysis,
using the Commission’s TVStudy
software analysis program,
demonstrating that the proposed
channel change from channel 7 to
channel 15 would result in a substantial
increase in signal receivability for
KRCR’s core viewers, with a minimal
loss of service to only 299 people, a
number the Commission considers de
minimis.
