REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: October 6, 2008 Released:  October 7, 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 Television Station KTXA L.P. (“KTXA”), the licensee of station KTXA-
DT, DTV channel 18, Fort Worth, Texas.  KTXA requests the substitution of DTV channel 19 for its 
assigned DTV channel 18 at Fort Worth.  KTXA filed comments in support.  No other comments were 
received.
2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV channel 19 for DTV 
channel 18.  The channel change will allow KTXA to enlarge its service area, especially since its currently 
allotted channel 18 cannot be maximized due to interference protection requirements to other stations.  The 
change would also result in a gain in service of more than 220,000 persons, without the loss of service to 
any area.
3. DTV channel 19 can be substituted for DTV channel 18 at Fort Worth, Texas, as proposed, 
in compliance with the principle community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the 
Commission’s rules,2 at coordinates 32-34-43 N. and 96-57-12 W.  In addition, we find that this channel 
change meets the technical requirements set forth in Sections 73.616, 73.622(f)(5), and 73.623 of the 
Commission’s rules3 with the following specifications:
State and City DTV Channel DTV Power (kW)  Antenna HAAT(meters)  DTV Service Pop. (thous.)   
Ft. Worth, TX 19 1000 500 5592
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 the date of publication of this Report 
and Order in the Federal Register, the DTV Table of Allotments, Section 73.622(i) of the Commission’s
