What the agency says
This document proposes to amend the Table of TV Allotments (Table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by One Ministries, Inc. (Petitioner), the licensee of NCE television station KEDS(TV) (KEDS or Station), Colusa, California (Colusa). The Petitioner requests the substitution of UHF channel *14 in place of its current VHF channel *2 at Colusa in the Table with the technical parameters specified in the Petition. In support of its channel substitution request, the Petitioner asserts that allowing the Station to move to a UHF channel would serve the public interest by improving signal reception for viewers. The Petitioner observes that the Commission has recognized that VHF channels have certain characteristics that have posed challenges for their use in providing digital television service, including propagation characteristics allowing undesired signals and noise to be receivable at relatively farther distances. Additionally, the Petitioner notes that the Commission has observed large variability in the performance of indoor antennas available to consumers, with most antennas receiving fairly well at UHF and the substantial majority not so well to very poor at high-VHF. An engineering statement provided by the Petitioner confirms that the proposed channel *14 contour would provide full principal community coverage to Colusa.
