What the agency says

This document proposes to amend the Table of TV Allotments (table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules by substituting channel *11 for *4 at Alamogordo, New Mexico in response to a Petition for Rulemaking filed by Vision Broadcasting Network, Inc. (Petitioner), the permittee of a new NCE television station KAVD(TV) (KAVD or Station), channel *4, Alamogordo, New Mexico (Alamogordo). In support of its channel substitution request, the Petitioner asserts that allowing the Station to move to a high VHF channel would serve the public interest by improving signal reception for viewers. The Petitioner observes that the Commission has recognized that low-VHF channels have certain characteristics that have posed challenges for their use in providing digital television service. The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements.
