REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: October 21, 2008 Released:  October 22, 2008
By the Chief, Video Division, Media Bureau:
1. The Commission has before it a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking1 issued in response to a 
joint petition for rulemaking filed by Pacifica Broadcasting Company (PBC), licensee of KALO(TV), 
channel *38, Honolulu, Hawaii, and permittee of KALO-DT, DTV channel *10, Honolulu, Hawaii, and 
Oceania Christian Church (OCC), licensee of single-channel station KUPU(TV), channel 56, Waimanalo, 
Hawaii, and post-transition DTV channel 38.  PBC and OCC requested the substitution of DTV channel *38 
for channel *10 at Honolulu, Hawaii, and channel 15 for channel 38 at Waimanalo, Hawaii.  PBC and OCC 
filed joint comments.  No other comments were received.
2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV channel *38 for 
channel *10 at Honolulu, Hawaii, and channel 15 for channel 38 at Waimanalo, Hawaii.  PBC has had 
difficulty obtaining authorization for its DTV facility on Channel *10 due to the proximity of the 
Commission’s monitoring station at Waipahu, Hawaii.2 We find that the public interest will be served by 
allowing PBC to return to its analog channel *38, since it will expedite construction of its post-transition 
DTV facilities.  The station is already operating on that channel in analog, and PBC should be able to 
construct and operate a digital facility on that channel with no greater potential for interference to the 
monitoring station.3 In addition, KUPU(TV) must also change its post-transition DTV channel.  However, 
OCC has yet to complete construction and begin operating its post-transition DTV facilities on Channel 38 
and has agreed to accept channel 15 as its substitute channel for post-transition DTV operations.4  
3.  DTV channel *38 can be substituted for DTV channel *10 at Honolulu, Hawaii, in 
compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the Commission’s 
 
1  Honolulu and Waimanalo, Hawaii, DA 08-1485 (released July 21, 2008).

rules,5 at coordinates 21-23-45 N. and 158-05-58 W. and DTV channel 15 can be substituted for channel 38 
at Waimanalo, Hawaii at coordinates 21-19-23 N. and 157-40-53 W. In addition, we find that these channel 
changes meet the technical requirements set forth in Sections 73.616 and 73.623 of the Commission’s rules 
with the following specifications:
