 REPORT  AND  ORDER 
 (Proceeding  Terminated) 


 Adopted:  October  12,  2001  Released:  October  18,  2001 
 By  the  Chief,  Video  Services  Division: 
 1.  At  the  request  of  ACME  Television  Licenses  of  New  Mexico,  LLC  ("  ACME"),  licensee 
 of  station  KASY-  TV,  NTSC  channel  50,  Albuquerque,  New  Mexico,  the  Commission  has  before  it 
 the  Notice  of  Proposed  Rule  Making,  16  FCC  Rcd  14505  (2001),  proposing  the  substitution  of 
 DTV  channel  45  for  station  KASY-  TV's  assigned  DTV  channel  51c.  ACME  filed  supporting 
 comments.  No  other  comments  were  received. 


 2.  We  believe  the  public  interest  would  be  served  by  substituting  DTV  channel  45  for  DTV 
 51c  since  it  will  enable  station  KASY-  TV  to  co-  locate  its  DTV  and  analog  facilities  and  share  the 
 same  antenna.  DTV  channel  45  can  be  allotted  Albuquerque,  New  Mexico,  in  compliance  with  the 
 principle  community  coverage  requirements  of  Section  73.625(  a)  at  coordinates  (35-  12-  48  N.  and 
 106-  27-  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  KASY-  TV  with  the  following  specifications:

 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  December  3,  2001,  the  DTV  Table  of
