FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MB Docket No. 15-98; RM-11748; DA 15-621]
Television Broadcasting Services; Providence, Rhode Island
AGENCY:
Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION:
Final rule.
SUMMARY:
The Commission has before it a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by WJAR Licensee, LLC (the Licensee), the licensee of WJAR(TV), channel 51, Providence, Rhode Island, requesting the substitution of channel 50 for channel 51 at Providence. The licensee filed comments reaffirming its interest in the proposed channel substitution and stated that if the proposal is granted, it will promptly file an application for the facilities specified in its rulemaking petition and construct the station. The licensee asserts that adopting the proposed channel substitution would serve the public interest because it would remove any potential interference with a wireless licensee in the Lower 700 MHz A Block located adjacent to channel 51 in Providence, Rhode Island-New Bedford, Massachusetts and Boston, Massachusetts television markets.
DATES:
This rule is effective May 29, 2015.
