FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 19-118; RM-11838; DA 19-553]


Television Broadcasting Services Buffalo, New York

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: At the request of Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. (Nexstar), 
licensee of television station WNLO(TV) channel 32, Buffalo, New York 
(WNLO), and WUTV Licensee, LLC (WUTV Licensee), the licensee of 
television station WUTV(TV), channel 36, Buffalo, New York, the 
Commission has before it a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing the 
substitution of channels for DTV station WNLO (currently channel 32) 
and WUTV (currently channel 36). WUTV would continue to operate from 
its existing pre-auction location and WNLO would move the Nexstar 
shared facilities in the site previously vacated by WIVB-TV (Buffalo, 
New York (CBS) (WIVB), the station with which it is sharing. The 
channel substitution serves the public interest because it would allow 
for a more efficient allocation of UHF television channels and resolve 
significant over-the-air reception problems in WIVB's prior service 
area.

DATES: Effective June 27, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Varsha Mangel, Media Bureau, at (202) 
418-0073, or [email protected].
