[MB Docket No. 21-53; RM-11878; DA 21-596; FR ID 28822]


Television Broadcasting Services St. George, Utah

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On February 12, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division 
(Bureau) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in response to a 
petition for rulemaking filed by KUTV Licensee, LLC (Licensee), the 
licensee of KMYU, channel 9 (MyNetwork/CBS), St. George, Utah, 
requesting the substitution of channel 21 for channel 9 at St. George 
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 21 for channel 9 at St. George.

DATES: Effective June 3, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at 
(202) 418-1647 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#682207110b0d462a0d1a061b1c0d0106280e0b0b460f071e"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="0b416472686e25496e7965787f6e62654b6d6868256c647d">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR 
16313 on March 29, 2021. The Licensee filed comments in support of the 
petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 21. No other 
comments were filed. In support, the Licensee asserts that KMYU, as a 
VHF channel station, has a long history of dealing with severe 
reception problems, and that substitution of channel 21 for channel 9 
will result in enhanced signal levels to a large percentage of the 
population within KMYU's service area, without any predicted loss of 
coverage and with a predicted increase of more than 8,000 persons in 
the KMYU service area. This is a synopsis of the Commission's Report 
and Order, MB Docket No. 21-53; RM-11878; DA 21-596, adopted May 20, 
2021, and released May 20, 2021. The full text of this document is
