FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 19-18; RM-11823; DA 19-225]


Television Broadcasting Services Gadsden and Hoover, Alabama

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: At the request of ION Media License Company, LLC. (ION), 
licensee of television station WPXH-TV, channel 45, Gadsden, Alabama 
(WPXH), the Commission has before it an unopposed Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking to amend the Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments by 
changing WPXH's community of license from Gadsden to Hoover, Alabama. 
The Commission believes that the proposed reallotment is consistent 
with the Commission's second allotment priority by providing Hoover 
with its first local transmission service. The Commission also notes 
that the proposed reallotment will not deprive Gadsden of its sole 
broadcast station because it will continue to be served by station 
WTJP-TV, licensed to Trinity Christian Center of Santa Ana, Inc. on 
channel 26 at Gadsden. We also grant ION's requested waiver of the 
Commission's rules.

DATES: Effective April 8, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at 
[email protected].

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. In 
addition, therefore, it does not contain any proposed information 
collection burden ``for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees,'' pursuant to the Small Business Paperwork Relief Act of 
2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4). Provisions of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not apply to 
this proceeding.
