ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: March 18, 2009 Released:  March 20, 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 rulemaking2 filed by Paxson Communications License Company, LLC (“Paxson”), the licensee 
of WPXD(TV), channel 13 and WPXD-DT, pre-transition digital television channel 33, and the permittee of 
post-transition digital television channel 31, Ann Arbor, Michigan, requesting the substitution of channel 19 
for post-transition digital television channel 31 at Ann Arbor. 
2. The Commission is required to coordinate and seek concurrence with the Canadian 
government for all proposed post-transition digital television facilities that are located within 360 km of the 
United States/Canadian border.  Paxson’s proposed WPXD-DT post-transition facility is located 27.3 km 
from the United States/ Canadian border.  The Canadian government has indicated to the Commission that 
Paxson’s WPXD-DT proposed facility is not acceptable because it will interfere with Canadian digital 
television post-transition channel 19, London, Ontario. 
3. We therefore believe, for the reason set forth, that we cannot approve Paxson’s rulemaking 
petition.
4. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Rulemaking, filed by Paxson 
Communications License Company, LLC, to substitute digital television channel 19 for post-transition 
digital television channel 31 at Ann Arbor, Michigan IS HEREBY DISMISSED.
5. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.
