FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS
COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 22–13; RM–11914; DA 22–
24; FR ID 67659]
Television Broadcasting Services
Albany, New York
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Commission has before it
a petition for rulemaking filed by
WNYT–TV, LLC (Petitioner), the
licensee of WNYT, channel 12, Albany,
New York. The Petitioner requests the
substitution of channel 21 for channel
12 at in the Table of Allotments.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before February 23, 2022 and reply
comments on or before March 10, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications
Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45
L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In
addition to filing comments with the
FCC, interested parties should serve
counsel for the Petitioner as follows:
William LeBeau, Esq., Holland & Knight
LLP, 800 17th Street NW, Washington,
DC 20006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202)
418–1647; or Joyce Bernstein, Media
Bureau, at Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support
of its channel substitution request, the
Petitioner states that WNYT has a long
history of significant reception problems
given the local terrain. According to the
Petitioner, once the station began
operating solely in digital on VHF
channel 12, it received numerous
complaints from viewers about the
station’s over-the-air signal, and in order
to address these problems, the Petitioner
applied for and received modification
authorizations to increase WNYT’s
effective radiated power and tried other
means to improve viewers’ digital
reception, including constructing two
digital replacement translators. The
proposal will result in a net gain in
service to 289,588 persons within
WNYT’s predicted noise limited service
contour, and while it will result in a
loss population of 210 persons within
the predicted contour, all of the
population located within WNYT’s
original DTV channel 12 noise limited
contour will continue to receive NBC
service, except for 130 people.
