| 2017-11947 | Television Broadcasting Services; Augusta, Georgia | Proposed Rule | The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed by Southern Media Holdings, Inc. (SMH), the former licensee of WFXG, Augusta, Georgia, requesting the substitution of channel 51 for channel 31 at Augusta. WFXG License Subsidiary, LLC (Licensee) is now the licensee of WFXG. Station WFXG was allotted channel 51 as its post- transition DTV channel and operated a licensed facility on that channel. In 2008, SMH filed a petition for rulemaking requesting that channel 31 be substituted for channel 51, and the Commission granted that request. SMH subsequently requested that the Commission change its channel back to channel 51 and we issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which was contested. On April 28, 2017, Licensee filed a letter withdrawing its pending request to substitute channel 51 for channel 31, explaining that it had licensed the channel 31 facility and that WFXG was reassigned to channel 36 in connection with the post- incentive auction repacking of the broadcast television spectrum. | 2017-06-12 | 2017 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/06/12/2017-11947/television-broadcasting-services-augusta-georgia | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-06-12/pdf/2017-11947.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed by Southern Media Holdings, Inc.
