REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: December 22, 2008 Released:  December 23, 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 Pappas Telecasting of Central Nebraska, L.P. (“Pappas”), the licensee of 
KWNB(TV), analog channel 6, and permittee of station KWNB-DT, DTV channel 18, Hayes Center, 
Nebraska, requesting the substitution of its analog channel, channel 6, for its assigned DTV channel 18 at 
Hayes Center.  Pappas filed comments.  No other comments were received
2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting DTV channel 6 for DTV 
channel 18.  Substitution of DTV channel 6 for DTV channel 18 will permit Pappas to utilize some of its 
current analog equipment, resulting in faster construction and operation of its digital facility.  In addition, 
the proposed channel 6 facility will serve more persons than the authorized facility on channel 18.
3. DTV channel 6 can be substituted for DTV channel 18 at Hayes Center, Nebraska as 
proposed, in compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the 
Commission’s rules, at coordinates 40-37-32 N. and 101-01-45 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.
