  • KLFY DTV Conflict Maps
    Engineering Statement CONFLICT RESOLUTION KLFY-DT LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA WAFB-DT BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA prepared for KLFY, L.P. This statement has been prepared to provide certain “public interest” data on behalf of KLFY, L.P. KLFY, L.P. is the licensee of television station KLFY-TV, Facility ID 35059, Lafayette, LA. KLFY-TV operates on NTSC (analog) Channel 10 and digital (DTV) Channel 56. In its first- round channel election filing (BFRECT-20050210AAY), KLFY, L.P. elected KLFY-TV’s NTSC Channel 10 for final DTV operation. A letter from the Commission June 7, 2005 advised that the election of Channel 10 would cause interference in excess of 0.1 percent to the election by WAFB(TV) (Baton Rouge, LA) of its NTSC Channel 9. The Commission’s analysis indicates that 3.4 percent additional interference would be caused to WAFB’s elected Channel 9. Additionally, the WAFB election of its NTSC Channel 9 would cause 8.8 percent interference to the KLFY-TV Channel 10 election, thus generating a conflict letter to WAFB as well. An interference acceptance agreement has been developed between these stations in order for the conflicted elections of KLFY-TV and WAFB to proceed. This statement provides public interest data regarding the acceptance of interference for each station. A recent FCC Public Notice1 listed various factors which should be addressed concerning public interest matters. The resulting situation for KLFY-TV and WAFB’s proposed operation on their NTSC channels is summarized in the following. KLFY-TV and WAFB are addressed in separate sections. 1 “DTV Channel Election: First Round Conflict Decision Extension and Guidelines for Interference Conflict Analysis, Public Notice, DA 05-2233, August 2, 2005.
