REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: September 9, 2008 Released:  September 12, 2008
By the Chief, Video Division, Media Bureau:
1. The Commission has before it a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking1 issued in response to a 
petition for rulemaking filed by Estes Broadcasting, Inc. (“Estes”), the permittee of station KCEB-DT, DTV 
channel 38, Longview, Texas, requesting the substitution of DTV channel 51 for channel 38 at Longview.  
Estes filed comments.  No other comments were received.
2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV channel 51 for DTV 
channel 38.  Substitution of channel 51 will permit Estes to modify and utilize the current top-mounted 
analog antenna for station KFXK, analog channel 51, Longview, Texas, saving between $800,000 and 
$2,000,000 in construction costs.  The channel substitution will also expedite the introduction of digital 
operations, since Estes would not be able to install its channel 38 digital antenna until after station KFXK 
removed its top-mounted channel 51 antenna.  With the substitution of channel 51, Estes can modify the 
existing KFXK antenna for digital operation immediately after KFXK terminates its analog operations.
3. DTV channel 51 can be substituted for DTV channel 38 at Longview, Texas as proposed, 
in compliance with the principle community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the 
Commission’s rules, at coordinates 32-15-36 N. and 94-57-02 W.  In addition, we find that this channel 
change meets the technical requirements set forth in Sections 73.616 and 73.623 of the Commission’s rules 
with the following specifications:
City and State DTV Channel DTV Power Antenna HAAT DTV Service Pop.
(kw) (meters) (thous.)
Longview, Texas 51 38 377 711
4. 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 30 days after date of publication of this Report and
