What the agency says

In this document the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) proposes to modify the Table of TV Allotments (table) of its rules by substituting channel 10 for 36 at Norwell, Massachusetts in response to a Petition for Rulemaking filed by RNN Boston License Co., LLC (RNN or Petitioner), the licensee of WWDP(TV) (WWDP or Station) channel 10, Norwell, Massachusetts (Norwell). In support of its channel substitution request, the Petitioner asserts that allowing the Station to remain on the air and continue to provide service to viewers within its service area. Given that RNN proposes to utilize its currently licensed parameters, we believe that channel 10 can be substituted for channel 36 at Norwell as proposed, in compliance with the principal community coverage and technical requirements.
