FINAL KCTS-TV Channel Substitution Rulemaking Petition.Pdf Before the Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of: ) ) Amendment of Section 73.622(i), ) MB Docket No. the Table of Allotments for ) Digital Television Stations, ) Rulemaking No. For KCTS-TV, Seattle, Washington ) (Facility ID No. 33749) ) To: Office of the Secretary, Federal Communications Commission Attn: Chief, Mass Media Bureau PETITION FOR RULEMAKING CASCADE PUBLIC MEDIA (“Cascade”), licensee of non-commercial educational television station KCTS-TV, Facility ID No. 33749, Seattle, Washington (“KCTS” or the “Station”), by counsel, hereby respectfully petitions the Commission to institute a rulemaking proceeding pursuant to Section 1.401 of the Commission’s Rules1 for the purpose of amending the digital television Table of Allotments set forth in Section 73.622(i) of the Rules (“DTV Table”)2. Cascade requests that the Commission amend the DTV Table to substitute UHF Channel 17 for Seattle, Washington, in lieu of VHF Channel 9 (on which the Station is currently operated), in accordance with the technical parameters set forth in the Engineering Statement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3 As demonstrated below, the proposed substitution meets the 1 47 C.F.R. § 1.401 2 47 C.F.R. § 73.622(i) 3 See Engineering Statement of Don Everist, Cohen, Dippell and Everist, P.C., in Support of Petition to Amend the Table of Allotments for KCTS-TV, Seattle Washington, dated December 2020 (“Engineering Statement”) (attached as Exhibit 1 hereto). applicable technical requirements set forth in Rules 616, 623 and 625(a) for post-transition DTV channel changes, 4 and would serve the public interest by: addressing ongoing reception complaints KCTS has received from viewers since commencing operations on Channel 9; optimizing Seattle, Washington DTV allotments by improving the Station’s OTA reception within its community of license and core service area, allowing it to better compete for viewers with other full-power television stations in the Seattle-Tacoma market; and enabling the Station to better serve the Seattle community by substantially improving viewer access to its non- commercial educational and public affairs programming, in both “over-the-air” (“OTA”), and in the forthcoming ATSC 3.0 mobile device, environments. KCTS is licensed to Seattle, Washington, and transmits on VHF Channel 9, at 21.7 kW ERP. It is one of two full-power non-commercial educational digital television stations serving the Seattle-Tacoma DMA, and, of those, the only NCE DTV station operating on a VHF channel.5 In the DTV “repack,” KCTS was originally allotted digital Channel 41. KCTS is a PBS affiliate, and many residents of Seattle and KCTS’ core viewing area depend on the Station’s OTA transmissions in order to receive PBS’ outstanding educational, cultural and public affairs programming. Apart from KCTS, only two of the 15 other full-power television stations in the Seattle-Tacoma DMA operate on VHF channels, and no other television station in the DMA operates on a VHF channel as low as KCTS’ Channel 9.6 As set forth below and in Cascade’s Vice President of Engineering and Technologies’ declaration attached as Exhibit 2, 4 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.616, 73.623, and 73.625(a). 5 https://www.stationindex.com/tv/markets/seattle-tacoma 6 See supra, n.5. 2 since the digital transition and commencement of DTV operations on VHF Channel 9 in 2009, KCTS has consistently received viewer complaints of poor reception and interference, many of whom complain that Channel 9 is the only station they cannot receive reliably over the air.7 These persistent VHF reception issues put KCTS at a severe disadvantage in reaching viewers, compared with most other full power DTV stations in the Seattle market which now operate on UHF channels. Moreover, KCTS’ high-VHF band channel allotment will effectively preclude the Station and its core viewers from realizing the full benefits of the ATSC 3.0 transition, because VHF frequencies are unsuitable for mobile devices with onboard antennas. Generally, the Commission will grant a proposed reallotment when the change will result in a “preferential arrangement of allotments.”8 The Commission will consider a proposal to change the DTV Table to be in the public interest if it satisfies one of the Commission’s five allotment priorities.9 The Commission’s stated objective of the post-transition DTV Table is ensuring the provision of digital television service “to the American people in an expeditious and efficient manner.”10 The Commission has recognized repeatedly that substitution of UHF 7 Statement of Jabran Soubeih, Cascade Public Media Vice President of Engineering & Technology (“Soubeih Statement”), attached hereto as Exhibit 2. 8 See generally Amendment of Section 3.606 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, Sixth Report and Order, 41 F.C.C. 148, 167-173 (1952). 9 Id. The five allotment priorities are: (1) to provide at least one television service to all parts of the United States; (2) to provide each community with at least one television broadcast station; (3) to provide a choice of at least two television services to all parts of the United States; (4) to provide each community with at least two television broadcast stations; and (5) to assign any remaining channels to communities based on population, geographic location, and the number of television services available to the community from stations located in other communities. Id. 10 See, e.g., In the Matter of Amendment of Section 73.622(B), Table of Allotments, Digital Television Broadcast Stations (Nampa, Idaho), Report and Order, 19 FCC Rcd. 4491, 4493 3 channels for VHF channels under parameters meeting applicable technical requirements may serve the public interest and the Commission’s DTV Table priorities, where the channel change would address viewer reception and interference issues caused by the relatively poor signal propagation characteristics of DTV VHF operations.11 Reliable high-quality reception of free DTV programming over the air has become even more important than ever, as more people rely increasingly on OTA reception in this era of pandemic-induced economic uncertainty and “cord cutting.”12 Yet, since at least 2010, the Commission has recognized that “VHF channels have certain technical characteristics that have posed challenges for their use in providing digital television service,” including “propagation characteristics of these channels [that] allow undesired signals and noise to be receivable at relatively farther distances,” the tendency of “nearby electrical devices … to emit noise in this (2004); In the Matter of Amendment of Section 73.622(B), Table of Allotments, Digital Television Broadcast Stations (In the Matter of Amendment of Section73.622(B), Table of Allotments, Digital Television Broadcast Stations (Albany, New York), 19 FCC Rcd. 4329, 4331 (2004); see also In the Matter of Advanced Television Systems & Their Impact Upon the Existing Television Broadcast Service, 12 FCC Rcd. 14588 ¶ 76 (1997). 11 See, e.g., In Re Amendment of Section 73.622(i), ) Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments, Television Broadcast Stations, (Portland, Oregon), Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 20-334, RM-11864 (rel.

  • Puget Sound Educational TV, Inc. KWDK(TV), Tacoma, WA (Fac. ID 35419) Request for Waiver of 47 C.F.R
    Puget Sound Educational TV, Inc. KWDK(TV), Tacoma, WA (Fac. ID 35419) Request for Waiver of 47 C.F.R. § 73.3700 JUSTIFICATION FOR WAIVER Puget Sound Educational TV, Inc. (“Daystar”), licensee of television station KWDK(TV), Tacoma, WA (Fac. ID 35419) (“Station”), respectfully requests a waiver of Section 73.3700(c) and (d) to allow the Station to discontinue use of its pre-auction channel (42) on November 1, 2019. In furtherance of this request, Daystar commits to take the actions described herein to ensure that its viewers in the Seattle- Tacoma Designated Market Area receive ample notice of Daystar’s transition. In connection with the post-incentive auction transition, the FCC reassigned KWDK to operate on UHF channel 34 and placed the Station in Phase 7 of the post-auction transition, which ends on January 17, 2020. Daystar has been actively working to complete its transition during the early part of Phase 7 to avoid potential weather-related delays at the Station’s transmission site on Tiger Mountain. Daystar has received delivery of its transmitter and antenna for the Station’s post-auction facility, and all that remains is for installation of the Station’s post-auction facilities. KWDK is the last station in its linked station set to transition to its post auction channel. Indeed, because most stations in the Seattle- Tacoma Designated Market Area completed their transition at the start of Phase 7, Daystar has identified a tower crew that is already on site and can install KWDK’s antenna in early November. To facilitate Daystar’s transition at this time, Daystar seeks a waiver of the consumer notification requirements in Section 73.3700(c) and the MVPD notification requirements in Section 73.3700(d) of the Commission’s Rules.

You request a refund reflecting the difference between the regulatory fee that Station KBCB(TV) paid for FY 2003 (i.e., $12,875.00) and the amount charged to UHF televisions stations in the remaining market category (k,markets 101 and above) under section 1.1153 ofthe Commission’s rules (i.e., $12,875.00 minus $1,425.00 equals $11,450.00). In your request, you state that KBCB(TV)’s signal “cannot be received over-theair in either Seattle or Tacoma” and that the station’s “Grade B service area can only be received by 274,580 people within the Seattle-Tacoma DMA.” You state that because there are only 107,678 television households in KBCB(TV)’s Grade B service area, the station “is effectively serving a market equivalent to DMA market size number 167 (which is currently Utica, New York).” You also state that KBCB(TV) is not a network affiliate. For purposes of the FY 2000 regulatory fee, the Office of Managing Director (Om) found that because KBCB(TV) is not a network affiliate, is located outside the Seattle- Tacoma, Washington metropolitan area, and its Grade B signal (encompassing 79,600 television households) does not serve a substantial portion of the Seattle-Tacoma, Washington metropolitan area (citing the 2000 Television & Cable Factbook), KBCB(TV) should be treated as a remaining market station for purposes of its regulatory Mr.
