FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 18-1268; RM-11800; DA 19-264]


Television Broadcasting Services Bridgeport and Stamford, 
Connecticut

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: At the request of Connecticut Public Broadcasting, Inc. 
(CPBI), licensee of television station WEDW channel *49, Bridgeport, 
Connecticut (WEDW), the Commission has before it a contested Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking to change WEDW's community of license from 
Bridgeport to Stamford, Connecticut. The Commission believes that the 
proposal is a preferential arrangement of allotments because it will 
provide Stamford, the third largest city in Connecticut, with its first 
broadcast television service. The Commission also reiterates that the 
grant of the proposal will not deprive Bridgeport of its sole broadcast 
television service because it will continue to be served by full power 
television station WZME, Bridgeport, Connecticut, licensed to NRJ TV NY 
License Co., LLC (NRJ).

DATES: Effective April 19, 2019.
