REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: September 3, 2008 Released:  September 10, 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 FoxCo Acquisition Sub, LLC (“FoxCo”), the licensee of stations KSTU-
TV, analog channel 13 and KSTU-DT, pre-transition DTV channel 28, and permittee of KSTU-DT, post-
transition DTV channel 13, Salt Lake City, Utah.  FoxCo requests the substitution of its pre-transition DTV 
channel 28 for its post-transition channel 13 at Salt Lake City. FoxCo filed comments in the proceeding. No 
other comments were received. 
2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV channel 28 for DTV 
channel 13.  FoxCo’s continued use of its currently operating digital facility on channel 28 will save 
valuable resources.  In addition, KSTU-DT was the only station licensed to Salt Lake City that was assigned 
a post-transition VHF channel, and the proposed channel substitution will mean that over-the-air-viewers 
will not need to modify their antennas to add a VHF antenna element in order to continue to receive the 
KSTU-DT signal.
3. DTV channel 28 can be substituted for DTV channel 13 at Salt Lake City, Utah as 
proposed, in compliance with the principle community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the 
Commission’s rules, at coordinates  40-39-33 N. and 112-12-8 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 
for station KSTU-DT with the following specifications:
State and City DTV Channel DTV Power Antenna HAAT DTV Service Pop.
(kW) (m) (thous.)
Salt Lake City, Utah 28 1000 1210 1804
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
