Digital Television Broadcast Service; Spokane, WA

The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Spokane School District #81, licensee of station KSPS(TV), NTSC Channel *7, Spokane, Washington, proposing the substitution of DTV Channel *8 for station KSPS(TV)'s assigned DTV Channel *39. DTV Channel *8 can be allotted to Spokane, Washington, in compliance with the principle community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) at reference coordinates 47-34-34 N. and 117-17-58 W. However, since the community of Spokane is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.- Canadian border, concurrence by the Canadian government must be obtained for this allotment. As requested, we propose to modify station KSPS(TV)'s authorization to specify operation on DTV Channel *8 at Spokane, Washington, with a power of 21.6 (kW) and a height above average terrain (HAAT) of 558.
