 REPORT  AND  ORDER 
 (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  November  22,  2000  Released:  November  24,  2000 
 By  the  Chief,  Video  Services  Division: 
 1.  At  the  request  of  California  Broadcasting,  Inc.  ("  KRCR"),  licensee  of  station  KRCR-  TV, 
 NTSC  Channel  7,  Redding,  California,  the  Commission  has  before  it  the  Notice  of  Proposed  Rule 
 Making,  15  FCC  Rcd  11336  (2000),  proposing  the  substitution  of  DTV  channel  34  for  station  KRCR-TV's 
 assigned  DTV  channel  14.  KRCR  filed  comments  and  supplemental  comments.  1  No  other 
 comments  were  received. 


 2.  We  believe  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  substituting  DTV  channel  34  for  DTV 
 channel  14  since  it  would  enable  station  KRCR-  TV  to  avoid  potential  interference  problems  to  land 
 mobile  operat  ions.  DTV  channel  34  can  be  allot  t  ed  to  Redding,  California,  as  proposed,  in  compliance 
 with  the  principle  community  coverage  requirements  of  Section  73.625(  a)  at  coordinates  (40-  36-  10  N. 
 and  122-  39-  00  W.).  In  addition,  we  find  that  this  channel  is  acceptable  under  the  2  percent  criterion 
 for  de  minimis  impact  that  is  applied  in  evaluating  requests  for  modification  of  initial  DTV  allotments 
 under  Section  73.623(  c)(  2)  for  Station  KRCR-  TV  with  the  following  specifications: 


 DTV  DTV  power  Antenna  DTV  Service 
 State  &  City  Channel  (kW)  HAAT  (m)  Pop.  (thous.) 


 CA  Redding  34  166  1106  318 
 3.  Accordingly,  pursuant  to  the  authority  contained  in  Sections  4(  i),  5(  c)(  1),  303(  g)  and  (r) 
 and  307(  b)  of  the  Communications  Act  of  1934,  as  amended,  and  Sections  0.61,  0.204(  b)  and  0.283  of 
 the  Commission's  Rules,  IT  IS  ORDERED,  That  effective  January  9,  2001,  the  DTV  Table  of 
 Allotments,  Section  73.622(  b)  of  the  Commission's  Rules,  IS  AMENDED,  with  respect  to  the 


 1  KRCR  filed  comments  requesting  the  Commission  to  hold  in  abeyance  its  request  to  substitute  channels  at 
 Redding.  KRCR  states  that  it  had  determined,  in  conjunction  with  Sainte  Partners  ("  Sainte"),  licensee  of  station 
 KCVU-  TV,  Paradise,  California,  that  a  channel  swap  of  the  presently  allotted  DTV  channels  of  these  stations 
 would  eliminate  the  necessity  of  KRCR  substituting  channels  at  Redding.  Subsequently,  KRCR  filed  supplemental 
 comments  stating  that  due  to  changed  circumstances,  KRCR  and  Sainte  terminated  their  channel  swap  agreement. 
 KRCR  further  stated  its  interest  in  pursuing  the  channel  substitution  at  Redding,  California.
