TO: The Commission
PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION OF KXII BROADCASTERS, INC,
KXII Broadcasters, Inc., licensee of Television
Broadcast Station KXII, Channel 12, Sherman, Texas and
Television Translator Station K02EQ, Paris, Texas 1 hereby
respectfully submits its consolidated Petition for
Reconsideration to the Fifth Report and Order, 62 Fed. Reg.
26966, published May 16 1 1997, and the Sixth Report and
Order 1 62 Fed. Reg. 26684 1 published May 14, 1997 1 in the
above-entitled proceeding. This is a consolidated Petition
for Reconsideration under the procedure announced in a
public notice published today (June 13, 1997) in the Federal
Register, 62 Fed. Reg. 32240.
1. KXII seeks reconsideration of the combined result
of the Fifth Report and Order and Sixth Report and Order in - 2 - order to assure continued service by Station K02EQ, which serves an area which would otherwise be deemed a television
"white area", unserved by any over-the-air television station but which for the last 27 years has been served by
KXII/K02EQ. Therefore, KXII requests the Commission to assign Channel 36 to Paris, Texas as a DTV Channel and to issue to KXII Broadcasters, Inc. an "Initial Modification
License for DTV" thereby modifying the license of K02EQ to specify operation on Channel 36.
2. Station K02EQ has operated since July 1, 1970, providing service to Paris, Texas, population 24,699 (1990
Census) . Paris is county seat of Lamar County. As can be
seen from the attached compendium of coverage maps
abstracted from Television Factbook, no Grade B contour of
any commercial television station encompasses Paris.
3. K02EQ carries programming which serves Paris and
which is popular with Paris residents. The 1996 Nielsen
County Coverage for Lamar County, Texas shows KXII(TV) with
a 14 share, the second most watched station in the county,
Sunday-Saturday, 7 a.m.-l a.m. With respect to news
programming, KXII again ranks second (only behind WFAA(TV)
from Dallas-Fort Worth) with a 15 share for the 6 p.m.
newscast and ranks third (behind WFAA (TV) and Dallas- Fort - 3 -
Worth station KXAS(TV)) with a 14 share. Paris is 70 miles east of Sherman, Texas, KXII(TV)'s city of license. KXII provides continuous and on-going news, weather and sports coverage of events in Paris, Texas. With respect to weather, Paris is in a region renowned for severe storms and tornadoes, and KXII!K02EQ serves it with (a) coverage, along with Sherman and Ardmore, Oklahoma on every weathercast, of current weather statistics and specific weather forecasts,
(b) operation of an Enterprise DWSR-90 Doppler Radar designed for detection and depiction of wind velocities of
tornadic strength, which depicts Paris on 75 1 150 and 300 mile maps, and (c) KXII/K02EQ's "8KYWARN 11 early weather
detection system, which automatically superimposes weather
watches and warnings impacting 20 counties in the Red River
valley region of northeast Texas and southeast Oklahoma,
including Lamar County, where Paris is located.
4. Therefore, KXII urges the Commission to reconsider
its earlier decisions in this docket in order to assure
continuous future service to this television "white areall
now served by station K02EQ. KXII urges the Commission to
assign Channel 36 to Paris, Texas as a DTV channel and to
issue to KXII Broadcasters 1 Inc. an "Initial Modification - 4 -
License for DTV H thereby modifying the license of K02EQ to specify operation on Channel 36.
WHEREFORE, we respectfully request the Commission to grant the relief requested herein.
Respectfully submitted,
KXII BROADCASTERS, INC.
