  • Technical Summary WZPX-TV Battle Creek, Michigan Channel 21 400
    Technical Summary WZPX-TV Battle Creek, Michigan Channel 21 400 kW 278.2 (HAAT) ION Media Battle Creek License, Inc. (“ION”) licensee of television station WZPX-TV, Facility ID 67077, Battle Creek, Michigan (the “Station”) submits this Construction Permit Modification application to allow it to relocate its transmitter from the currently authorized site (FCC LMS File No. 0000034925) to a site that will accommodate post-repack operations. This application is necessary because ION does not have access to its current tower for post-repack operations. Following the Commission’s assignment of post-repack facilities to WZPX-TV, ION was unable to reach accommodation with the tower landlord that would permit the station to continue operating from its current site. This forced ION to identify a new site for the station’s post-repack operations. Before selecting the proposed tower location, ION performed an analysis of available tower sites in the Grand Rapids market. In the immediate vicinity of the current tower site, ION’s market analysis found no acceptable alternatives that would provide equivalent interference-free coverage as compared to the Station’s pre-auction or authorized post-auction facilities. ION has, however, identified an acceptable tower to the west of the current site, one that provides strong coverage at allowable interference levels. The new tower is located approximately 35 kilometers to the west of the current site. Accordingly, the Station’s proposed noise limited service contour (“NLSC”) will shift to the west, creating areas of service gain and loss. Figure 1 shows the loss area and the number of stations predicted to serve the loss areas using the Commission’s standard prediction methodology.

Simmonds House and Arboretum Chicago-based Prairie school landscape architect Ossian C. Simmonds purchased a Greek Revival farmhouse in Pier Cove for use as a summer home at the turn of the twentieth century. At the time the land had been logged off and was barren. Simmonds created an arboretum across from the house to test how different species of plants would react to Michigan’s climate. After his death, Simmonds ashes were scattered under this tree in the heart of the arboretum. 14 Ferry Street, Douglas West Shore Golf Club According to an article in the Saugatuck Commercial Record a group of summer visitors first met on August 10, 1916 to discuss the formation of a golf club for the Saugatuck-Douglas area.
