47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 14-141, RM-11733; DA 14-1577]


Television Broadcasting Services; Rome, Georgia

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: A petition for rulemaking was filed by ION Media Atlanta 
License, Inc. (``ION Media''), the licensee of WPXA-TV, channel 51, 
Rome, Georgia, requesting the substitution of channel 31 for channel 51 
at Rome. ION Media filed comments reaffirming its interest in the

substitution will allow it to serve all viewers currently receiving 
digital service while eliminating any potential interference with 
wireless operations in the Lower 700 MHZ A Block located adjacent to 
channel 51 in Rome. ION Media states that it will file an application 
for a construction permit for channel 31 and implement the change in 
accordance with the Commission's rules upon adoption of the channel 
substitution.
