REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: May 20, 2009 Released: May 27, 2009
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 WISE-TV License, LLC  (“WISE”), licensee of WISE-TV, analog channel 
33, and WISE-DT, DTV channel 19, Fort Wayne, Indiana, requesting the substitution of DTV channel 18 
for its assigned post-transition DTV channel 19 at Fort Wayne.  WISE filed comments.  No other comments 
were received.
2. We believe the public interest will be served by substituting DTV channel 18 for post-
transition DTV channel 19 at Fort Wayne because the proposed facility will increase the currently allotted 
post-transition DTV service population.  Furthermore, this channel change resolves WISE’s mutual-
exclusivity with a maximization application for station WXMI-DT, DTV channel 19, Grand Rapids, 
Michigan.2
3. DTV channel 18 can be substituted for post-transition DTV channel 19 at Fort Wayne,
Indiana as proposed, in compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of Section 
73.625(a) of the Commission’s rules, at coordinates 41-06-08 N. and 85-11-05 W.  Since the proposed 
facility is located within the Canadian coordination zone, concurrence from the Canadian government has 
been obtained for this allotment.  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.
(kW) (meters) (thous.)
Fort Wayne, Indiana 18 320 224 1059
4. We also conclude that good cause exists to make this channel change effective immediately 
upon publication in the Federal Register, pursuant to Section 553(d)(3) of the Administrative Procedures 
 
1 Fort Wayne, Indiana, 23 FCC Rcd. 14641 (Vid. Div. 2009).

Act.3 An expedited effective date is necessary in this case in order to expedite processing of the station’s 
post-transition DTV application for DTV channel 18 and to ensure that it is able to timely complete 
construction of its new DTV facility.
5. 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 immediately upon the date of publication of this

6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That within 30 days of the effective date of this Order, 
Entravision Holdings, LLC shall submit to the Commission a minor change application for a construction 
permit (FCC Form 301) specifying DTV channel 18 in lieu of post-transition DTV channel 19.
