Hi Patty: By letter dated October 25, 2016, We waived the PSIP Standard to permit LPTV station WBTS-LD, Boston, to use virtual channel 8. Your client now proposes, pursuant to Section 5 of the PSIP Standard, that its commonly owned full power station WNEU, Merrimack, NH, also use virtual channel 8 for two of the four program services that it airs – 8.2 for NBC Boston and 8.4 for Cozi. WNEU, however, has significant contour overlap with WMTW, Portland, ME (See Attached) , which is using virtual channel 8. Before WNEU begins using virtual channel 8, we will first require that your client obtain the written consent of Hearst Properties, the licensee of WMTW, to WNEU’s use of the same virtual channel. We also note that under Section 5 of the PSIP Standard, there can be no duplication of the two-part channel number in overlap areas, and it appears that WMTW is already using 8.2. Alternatively, your client can request a different virtual channel for WBTS-LD.

Hossein - we are writing about station IDs for the main and multicast channels for a full- power TV station and a low power TV station.

Station Venture Operations, LP acquired LPTV station WBTS-LD, Boston, MA (FIN 64996) on November 4, 2016. Pursuant to the waiver of the PSIP Standard, WBTS-LD has been assigned major/virtual channel 8. Commonly owned full-power TV station WNEU, Merrimack, NH (FIN 51864) (licensed to NBC Telemundo License LLC) operates on major/virtual channel 60.

Currently, WBTS-LD rebroadcasts WNEU. However, on or about November 10, 2016, WBTS-LD will begin originating its own programming, and the station IDs for WBTS-LD and WNEU will be done temporarily as follows:

WNEU

Telemundo WNEU|Merrimack-Boston HD 60.1 Boston WBTS-LD|Boston

NBC WNEU|Merrimack-Boston HD 8.2 Boston WBTS-LD|Boston

WNEU|Merrimack-Boston Telexitos SD 60.4 WBTS-LD|Boston

On or about December 1, 2016, the station IDs for WBTS-LD and WNEU will be done as follows:

WNEU

Virtual Service HD/SD Channel Legal ID

Telemundo WNEU|Merrimack-Boston HD 60.1 Boston

NBC WNEU|Merrimack-Boston HD 8.2 Boston WBTS-LD|Boston

Telemundo WBTS-LD|Boston HD 60.2 Boston WNEU|Merrimack-Boston

Cozi SD 8.3 WBTS-LD|Boston

WBTS-LD Telexitos SD 60.4 WNEU|Merrimack-Boston

Please let us know if the station IDs above are acceptable.

Finally, FYI, we will be sending along the PSIP channel stack letter for WBTS-LD and WNEU on or about November 10.

As always, thank you for your guidance.

Best - Patty
