REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: August 31, 2009 Released:  September 1, 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 Fisher Broadcasting – Idaho TV, L.L.C. (“Fisher”), the licensee of KBCI-
DT, channel 28, Boise, Idaho.  Fisher requests the substitution of channel 9 for channel 28 at Boise.  Fisher 
filed comments reaffirming its interest in the proposed channel substitution.  No other comments were 
received.
2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting channel 9 for channel 28 at 
Boise.  Fisher states that the station’s authorized post-transition operation on digital channel 28 does not 
provide service to all of the persons who received analog service from its allotted analog channel 2 facility.  
According to Fisher, the proposed channel substitution will allow it to restore service to over 12,669 
persons who are unable to receive service from KBCI-DT’s operation on channel 28
3. DTV channel 9 can be substituted for DTV channel 28 at Boise, Idaho, as proposed, in 
compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the Commission’s 
rules, at coordinates 43-45-21 N. and 116-05-54 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: 2
City and State DTV Channel DTV Power Antenna HAAT DTV Service Pop 
(kW) (meters) (thous.)
Boise, Idaho 9 25 862 559
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 
Act.3 An expedited effective date is necessary in this case to ensure that station KBCI-DT can restore 
service to former analog viewers as quickly as possible.
