FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 47 CFR Part 73

MB Docket No. 11-4; RM-11616, DA 11-530

Television Broadcasting Services; El Paso, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission grants a petition for rulemaking issued in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by Comcorp of El Paso

License Corp. (``Comcorp''), the licensee of KTSM-TV, channel 9, El

Paso, Texas, requesting the substitution of channel 16 for channel 9 at

El Paso. Comcorp states that this channel substitution is necessary because KTSM-TV has experienced significant technical difficulties since the station terminated its analog service and transitioned to post-transition channel 9 and believes channel 16 will allow better broadcast service to the public.

DATES: This rule is effective May 9, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adrienne Y. Denysyk, adrienne.denysyk@fcc.gov, Media Bureau, (202) 418-1600.
