ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: The Video Division has before it a petition for rulemaking filed November 27, 2020 (Petition) by WULK Licensee, LLC (Licensee), the licensee of WULK-TV (FOX), channel 12, Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Licensee requests the substitution of channel 18 for channel 12 at Green Bay, Wisconsin the digital television (DTV) Table of Allotments. DATES: Comments must be filed on or before April 26, 2021 and reply comments on or before May 10, 2021. ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Office of the Secretary, 45 L Street NE, Washington, DC 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should serve counsel for petitioner as follows: Paul A. Cicelski, Esq., Lerman Senter PLLC, 2001 L Street NW, Washington, DC 20036. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 418-1647 or Joyce Bernstein@fcc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support of its channel substitution request, the Licensee states that the Commission has recognized that VHF channels have certain propagation characteristics which may cause reception issues for some viewers, and that the reception of VHF signals require larger antennas relative to UHF channels. According to the Licensee, WLUK-TV has received numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive its signal and the Licensee's channel substitution proposal will result in more effective building penetration for indoor antenna reception and greatly improve the Station's ability to provide ATSC 3.0 service to homes, vehicles, and portable devices. The Licensee further states that it will continue to serve all of the population located within the licensed channel 12 contour and that three other FOX-affiliated stations provide a signal to portions of the licensed channel 12 facility. We believe that the Licensee's channel substitution proposal warrants consideration. Channel 18 can be substituted for channel 12 at Green Bay, Wisconsin as proposed, in compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of the Commission's rules at coordinates 44-24-32.0 N and 87-59-31.0 W. In addition, we find that this channel change meets the technical requirements set forth in our regulations. This is a synopsis of the Commission's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, MB Docket No. 21-72; RM-11888; DA 21-271, adopted March 4, 2021, and released March 4, 2021.
