REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: December 17, 2008 Released: December 18, 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 Mitts Telecasting Company (Mitts), the licensee of KXVO(TV), channel 
15, Omaha, Nebraska, and licensee of KXVO-DT, pre-transition digital channel 38 and post-transition 
digital channel 15, Omaha, Nebraska.  Mitts requested the substitution of channel 38 for post-transition 
digital channel 15 at Omaha, Nebraska.  Mitts filed comments in support of its petition for rulemaking.  No 
other comments were received.
2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV channel 38 for channel 
15 at Omaha, Nebraska.  KXVO-DT was planning to return to its analog channel 15 for post-transition 
digital operation.  However, Mitts sought to remain on its pre-transition digital channel 38 for post-
transition operation so that it can enjoy “substantial cost savings while ensuring service to all of the 
Station’s current DTV service population.”2 Mitts’ engineering analysis showed that its continued 
operation on channel 38 would reach a greater number of people than its current allotment on channel 15.3  
3.  DTV channel 38 can be substituted for DTV channel 15 at Omaha, Nebraska, as 
proposed, in compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the 
Commission’s rules,4 at coordinates 41-04-16 N. and 96-13-31 W. In addition, the channel change meets 
the technical requirements set forth in Sections 73.616, 73.622(f)(5), and 73.623 of the Commission’s rules5
with the following specifications:

5 47 C.F.R. §§ 73.616, 73.622(f)(5), and 73.623.  Although the proposed channel substitution was predicted to 
cause impermissible interference to KMEG-DT, Sioux City, Iowa, KMEG-DT consented to the level of predicted 
interference in an amendment to the petition for rulemaking filed by Mitts on July 23, 2008.
