MB Docket No. 14-140; RM-11733; DA 14-1578

Television Broadcasting Services; Kansas City, Missouri

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: A petition for rulemaking was filed by ION Media Kansas City License, Inc. (``ION Media''), the licensee of KPXE-TV, channel 51, Kansas City, Missouri, requesting the substitution of channel 30 for channel 51 at Kansas City. ION Media filed comments reaffirming its interest in the proposed channel substitution and explained that the channel substitution will allow it to serve all viewers currently receiving digital service while eliminating any potential interference with wireless operations in the Lower 700 MHZ A Block located adjacent to channel 51 in Kansas City. ION Media states that it will file an application for a construction permit for channel 30 and implement the change in accordance with the Commission's rules upon adoption of the channel substitution.

DATES: This rule is effective November 24, 2014.
