Television Broadcasting Services, St. George, Utah

What it does

This document amends the Table of TV Allotments (Table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules by substituting VHF channel 9 for UHF channel 21 at St. George, Utah in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by KUTV Licensee, LLC (Licensee), licensee of full power television station KMYU(TV) (KMYU or Station), St. George, Utah. The Media Bureau (Bureau) previously granted a petition for rulemaking submitted by the Licensee to substitute UHF channel 21 for VHF channel 9 at St. George, Utah in the Table. The Licensee subsequently filed an application for a construction permit for its new channel, which remains pending due to certain unresolved engineering matters. The Licensee now states that upon further consideration and restraints, it wishes to abandon its plans to modify its license for KMYU to operate on channel 21. The Licensee filed the instant petition to amend the Table to substitute VHF channel 9 for UHF channel 21 and allow KMYU to continue to operate on channel 9 at its licensed parameters. The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements, including the interference protection requirements. In support of its channel substitution request, the Licensee filed comments reaffirming its interest and stating that it commits to promptly take any and all steps that may be necessary to effectuate the channel substitution proposed in the petition. An individual commenter, Steven Quinn Singleton (Singleton), also filed comments, but did not explicitly object to the proposed channel change. For the reasons discussed in the Report and Order referenced below, the Bureau denied Singleton's comments.
