[Federal Register Volume 84, Number 51 (Friday, March 15, 2019)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 9465-9466] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2019-04789] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 47 CFR Part 73 [MB Docket No. 18-383, RM-11822; DA 19-149] Television Broadcasting Services Cookeville and Franklin, Tennessee AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: At the request of ION Media License Company, LLC (ION), licensee of digital television station WNPX-TV, channel 36, Cookeville, Tennessee (WNPX), the Commission has before it an unopposed Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to amend the Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments to reallot channel 36 from Cookeville to Franklin, Tennessee. ION further requested modification of WNPX's license to specify Franklin as the station's community of license. ION claimed that proposed reallotment is mutually exclusive with WNPX's current allotment because it is based on the technical specifications currently authorized for the station. Furthermore, ION stated that the proposed reallotment is consistent with the Commission's second allotment priority because it will provide Franklin with its first local transmission service. ION explained that Franklin not only qualifies as a community for allotment purposes, but is also a larger community than Cookeville and is deserving of its first local transmission service. DATES: Effective March 15, 2019. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Darren Fernandez, Media Bureau, at [email protected]; or Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at [email protected].
