| 2011-28452 | Television Broadcasting Services; Fond du Lac, WI | Proposed Rule | In this document, the Commission denies a petition for reconsideration of an August 12, 2009 Report and Order changing the allotted channel for station WWAZ-TV, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, from channel 44 to channel 5. The petitioner stated that the staff, in granting the original channel change, cited erroneous loss-of-service figures. The petitioner further argues that the primary technical justification for creation of this loss area was not raised until the reply comment stage, and that the record further does not support the technical justification. The order finds that the staff requested a re- engineered proposal that would result in the replacement translators covering the projected analog loss area. The document finds that the re-engineered translators sufficiently address any loss of service, and further finds that the public interest is served by substituting channel 5 for channel 44 at Fond du Lac because it permitted WLS-TV, an ABC network affiliate in Chicago, Illinois, to move from its post-transition channel 7 to channel 44, resulting in the restoration of ABC network service to numerous viewers that had lost service after the transition of WLS-TV to digital operations. Finally, the document notes that the petitioner's own engineer had recognized potential technical problems associated with WWAZ-TV's digital operations on channel 44. | 2011-11-03 | 2011 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2011/11/03/2011-28452/television-broadcasting-services-fond-du-lac-wi | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2011-11-03/pdf/2011-28452.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this document, the Commission denies a petition for reconsideration of an August 12, 2009 Report and Order changing the allotted channel for station WWAZ-TV, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, from channel 44 to channel 5.
