  • NTSC Channel 34+ and DTV Channel 32 can be allotted to Laughlin, Nevada, consistent with the technical requirements of the Commission's Rules at the petitioner's specified site located 13.2 kilometers (8.2 miles) south of the community at coordinates 35-03-12 NL and 114-37-10 WL. Specifically, the NTSC Channel 34 allotment at Laughlin complies with the principal community coverage requirements of Section 73.685(a), meets the minimum distance separation requirements of Section 73.610 with respect to all other NTSC TV stations, does not have a negative impact on any LPTV station that has been certified as eligible for Class A Television status pursuant to the Report and Order in MM Docket No. 00-10 (FCC 00-115, adopted March 28, 2000, released April 4, 2000), and

  • filed comments reaffirming its intention to apply for DTV channel 13, if allotted. Reply comments were filed by Media General Broadcasting, Inc., licensee of station WDEF(TV), NTSC channel 12, Chattanooga, Tennessee. 2. Media General filed reply comments stating that Sarkes' proposal to substitute DTV channels at Chattanooga should not be granted because WRCB-DT antenna pattern is in excess of Section 73.685(e) of the Commission's Rules. More importantly, Media General asserts that since Sarkes' channel substitution is adjacent to WDEF(TV)'s analog operations, it claims that adoption of Sarkes' proposed channel change would create predicted interference to 634 persons in WDEF(TV)'s viewing area. While Media General acknowledges that at this level of interference, the Sarkes' proposal still would comply with the Commission's de

  • ``clarify'' that action. The Modification Application 18. Just over ten months after RPVB filed its modification application to permanently relocate KXLA's transmitter site to Mt. Wilson, Sunbelt filed its ``informal objection'' thereto. It alleges, among other things, that RPVB certified in its application that its proposed facilities provide the requisite 80 dBu principal community signal coverage set forth in Section 73.685 (a)(1) of the Commission's Rules, and that there is direct line-of-sight with no ``major obstruction'' between the proposed antenna site and its transmitter as required by Section 73.685(b) of the Rules. Sunbelt contends that its own engineering studies conclude that KXLA will provide no city-grade service to the community of license due to the intervention of a ``major obstruction'' in

  • 7 though 13. Grant of the analog modification application, however, would require waiver of the minimum co-channel spacing requirements, 47 C.F.R. § 73.610(b), since the proposed analog facility is 1.1 kilometers short-spaced to KRXI-TV, channel 11, Reno, or 0.36% of the required minimum distance separation of 304.9 kilometers. NBC states that waiver of the city-grade coverage requirement, 47 C.F.R. § 73.685, is also necessary because, based on conventional F (50/50) curves, the proposed analog facility at San Bruno Mountain would provide city-grade coverage to only 32.2% of the area within the San Jose city limits and 27.8% of the San Jose city population. Using Longley-Rice, an alternative propagation method, results in an increase of the 77 dBu city-grade coverage to 79.8%

WWAZ is presently in the Green Bay-Appleton, Wisconsin DMA and our engineering analysis indicates that the proposed facilities do not exceed the facilities of WBAY-DT, channel 23, Green Bay, the largest station in the market. GVSU and Venture also argue that the ``highly directional antenna'' proposed by WWAZ would violate Section 73.685(e) of the Commission's rules, which provides that stations operating on channels 2-13 ``will not be permitted to employ a directional antenna having a ratio of maximum to minimum radiation in the horizontal plane in excess of 10 dB.'' According to GVSU, WWAZ proposes a 30 dB maximum to minimum ratio. As WWAZ points out, however, Section 73.685(e) only applies to

Section 73.625(c)(2) of the Rules defines a DTV directional antenna as one ``designed or altered to produce a noncircular radiation pattern in the horizontal plane . . . .'' Section 73.685(e) of the Rules defines an NTSC TV directional antenna as one ``designed or altered to produce a noncircular radiation pattern in the horizontal plane . . . .'' Therefore, the DTV and NTSC rules defining directional antennas are identical and the practices and policies that have been applied to NTSC directional antennas will also be applied to DTV directional antennas.
