Indeed, as demonstrated herein, the proposed channel change from Channel 6 to Channel 35 would result in a substantial increase in signal receivability for WRGB’s core viewers and will enable viewers to receive the Station’s signal with a significantly smaller antenna. The proposed channel substitution would serve the public interest because WRGB has had a long history of dealing with severe reception problems since the Station was licensed. 1 47 C.F.R. § 1.401. 2 See Engineering Statement of John E. Hidle, P.E., In Support of a Petition to Amend the Table of Allotments for WRGB, Bristol Virginia (“Engineering Statement”).

  • Gray Local News Programming Report

    THE IMPACT ON THE AMOUNT OF NEWS PROGRAMMING FROM CONSOLIDATION IN THE LOCAL TELEVISION STATION INDUSTRY Mark R. Fratrik, Ph.D., SVP/Chief Economist September 23, 2020 Abstract The FCC’s broadcast ownership rules, which generally prohibit a single entity from owning more than one television station in most markets, are inhibiting the production of local news in television markets across the country – especially in small television markets. As shown in this report, from 2014 to 2020, Gray Television was able to add more local news programming in markets where it acquired a second station or major network affiliation as compared to those markets where Gray’s holdings remained constant. Moreover, the largest increases in local news production arose from consolidation in the smallest markets. With greater local scale from in- market consolidation, Gray was able to spread the high fixed costs of local news production across multiple stations or networks, which allowed Gray to produce more local news programming than those stations otherwise were able to produce separately. Based on Gray’s experience, we anticipate that relaxing the FCC’s ownership rules would lead to more local news, more local journalism, and more local newsroom jobs.

Introduction Off-air television stations broadcast signals from terrestrially-based facilities directly to television receivers. Comsearch identified those off-air stations whose service could potentially be affected by the proposed Deer River Wind Project in Jefferson and Lewis Counties, New York. Comsearch then examined the coverage of the stations and the communities in the area that could potentially have degraded television reception due to the location of the proposed wind turbines. 2. Summary of Results The proposed wind energy project area and local communities are depicted in Figure 1, below. Figure 1: Wind Farm Project Area and Local Communities Comsearch Proprietary - 1 - August 30, 2018 ATLANTIC WIND LLC Wind Power GeoPlanner™ Off-Air Television Report Deer River Wind Project To begin the analysis, Comsearch compiled all off-air television stations1 within 150 kilometers of the project area of interest (AOI). TV stations at a distance of 150 kilometers or less are the most likely to provide off-air coverage to the project area and neighboring communities. These stations are listed in Tables 1 and 2, below, and a plot depicting their locations is provided in Figure 2.

Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Notice of Ex Parte Communication, GN Docket No. 12-268, MB Docket No. 16-306. Dear Ms. Dortch: In an effort to help its radio members better understand and prepare for the impacts of the post-auction transition of repacked television stations, NAB commissioned a study to determine which FM stations are likely to need to coordinate with TV stations making adjustments following the Incentive Auction. This analysis identifies 678 FM stations that may need to reduce power, shut down, or operate from an auxiliary facility as work is being done on a neighboring TV station antenna to ensure tower worker safety from radio frequency exposure. A copy of this analysis is attached. We look forward to working with the Commission to ensure the smoothest possible transition for broadcast viewers and listeners.
