Television Broadcasting Services; Scottsbluff, Nebraska and Sidney, Nebraska

The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed by Gray Television License, LLC, proposed assignee of KDUH-TV, Scottsbluff, Nebraska and New Rushmore Radio, Inc., the licensee of station KDUH-TV, channel 7, Scottsbluff, Nebraska (collectively "Petitioners"), requesting an amendment of the DTV Table of Allotments to delete channel 7 at Scottsbluff and substitute channel 7 at Sidney, Nebraska. While the Commission instituted a freeze on the acceptance of full power television rulemaking petitions requesting channel substitutions in May 2011, Petitioners are seeking a waiver asserting that because the proposed change in community of license does not involve any proposed change in technical facilities, grant of the petition would not impact on the Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments. Petitioners believe that a waiver here would serve the public interest and that community in Sidney would remain well-served after reallotment.
