FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 21-71; RM-11887; DA 21-601; FR ID 29216]
Television Broadcasting Services Hannibal, Missouri
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 7, 2021, the Media Bureau, Video Division (Bureau)
issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in response to a petition for
rulemaking filed by KHQA Licensee, LLC (Licensee), the licensee of
KMYU, channel 7 (CBS), Hannibal, Missouri, requesting the substitution
of channel 22 for channel 7 at Hannibal in the DTV Table of Allotments.
For the reasons set forth in the Report and Order referenced below, the
Bureau amends FCC
[[Page 31955]]
regulations to substitute channel 22 for channel 7 at Hannibal.
DATES: Effective June 16, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at
(202) 418-1647 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5c1633253f391e392e322f283935321c3a3f3f723b332a"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="511b3e2832341334233f222534383f113732327f363e27">[email protected]</span></a>.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published at 86 FR
16686 on March 31, 2021. The Licensee filed comments in support of the
petition reaffirming its commitment to apply for channel 22. No other
comments were filed. The Licensee states that VHF channels have certain
propagation characteristics which may cause reception issues for some
viewers and that the reception of VHF signals requires larger antennas
generally not well suited to the mobile applications expected under
flexible use, relative to UHF channels. In addition, KHQA-TV has
received numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive the
Station's over-the-air signal, despite being able to receive signals
from other stations. Moreover, there would be no loss of service
because the noise limited contour of the proposed channel 22 facility
completely encompasses the licensed channel 7 facility's noise limited
contour.
This is a synopsis of the Commission's Report and Order, MB Docket
No. 21-71; RM-11887; DA 21-601, adopted May 21, 2021, and released May
