Girardeau, Missouri
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Video Division, Media
Bureau (Bureau), has before it a petition
for rulemaking filed June 7, 2024, by
Gray Television Licensee, LLC (Gray),
the licensee of KFVS–TV, channel 11,
Cape Girardeau, Missouri (Station or
KFVS–TV). Gray held a construction
permit to construct a facility on channel
32 at Cape Girardeau. Gray now requests
that the Bureau substitute channel 11
for channel 32 at Cape Girardeau in the
Table of TV Allotments, with the
technical parameters as set forth in
KFVS–TV’s current license.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or
before August 8, 2024 and reply
comments on or before August 23, 2024.
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:
Joan Stewart, Esq., Wiley Rein, LLP,
1776 K Street NW, Washington, DC

Bureau, (202) 418–7611, at
Mark.Colombo@fcc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 5,
2021, the Bureau granted a petition for
rulemaking submitted by Gray to
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:24 Jul 08, 2024
Jkt 262001
substitute channel 32 for channel 11 at
Cape Girardeau for KFVS–TV. On June
23, 2021, Gray was granted a
construction permit for its new channel,
with an expiration date of June 23, 2024.
In its Petition, Gray stated that it would
be unable to complete construction of
the channel 32 facility by the expiration
date. Thus, Gray requests amendment of
the Table of TV Allotments to allow it
to continue to operate on channel 11.
Gray proposes to specify the technical
parameters of its currently licensed
channel 11 facility. We believe that the
Petitioner’s channel substitution
proposal for KFVS–TV warrants
consideration. KFVS–TV is currently
operating on channel 11 and the
substitution of channel 11 for channel
32 in the Table of TV Allotments will
allow the Station to remain on the air
and continue to provide service to
viewers within its service area. Given
that Gray proposes to utilize its
currently licensed parameters, we
believe channel 11 can be substituted
for channel 32 at Cape Girardeau as
proposed, in compliance with the
principal community coverage
requirements of § 73.618(a) of the
Commission’s rules (rules), at
coordinates 37–25′–44.7″ N and 089–
30′–14.2″ W. In addition, we find that
this channel change meets the technical
requirements set forth in § 73.622(a) of
the rules.
This is a synopsis of the
Commission’s Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 24–176;
RM–11984; DA 24–562, adopted June
28, 2024, and released June 28, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 5, 2021, the Bureau granted a
