[Federal Register Volume 84, Number 124 (Thursday, June 27, 2019)] [Rules and Regulations] [Page 30631] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2019-13129] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION 47 CFR Part 73 [MB Docket No. 19-118; RM-11838; DA 19-553] Television Broadcasting Services Buffalo, New York AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission. ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: At the request of Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. (Nexstar), licensee of television station WNLO(TV) channel 32, Buffalo, New York (WNLO), and WUTV Licensee, LLC (WUTV Licensee), the licensee of television station WUTV(TV), channel 36, Buffalo, New York, the Commission has before it a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing the substitution of channels for DTV station WNLO (currently channel 32) and WUTV (currently channel 36). WUTV would continue to operate from its existing pre-auction location and WNLO would move the Nexstar shared facilities in the site previously vacated by WIVB-TV (Buffalo, New York (CBS) (WIVB), the station with which it is sharing. The channel substitution serves the public interest because it would allow for a more efficient allocation of UHF television channels and resolve significant over-the-air reception problems in WIVB's prior service area. DATES: Effective June 27, 2019. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Varsha Mangel, Media Bureau, at (202) 418-0073, or [email protected].
