REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: October 18, 2011 Released:  October 19, 2011
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 Gray Television Licensee, LLC (“Gray”), the licensee of WJHG-TV, 
channel 7, Panama City, Florida.  Gray requests the substitution of channel 18 for channel 7 at Panama City. 
Gray filed comments reaffirming its interest in the proposed channel substitution.  No other comments were 
received.
2. We believe the public interest will be served by substituting channel 18 for channel 7 at 
Panama City.  Gray states that “This channel substitution serves the public interest by resolving significant 
over-the-air reception problems in certain areas of WJHG’s predicted service area . . ..”2 After two power 
increases and numerous attempts to resolve viewers’ reception complaints, Gray concludes that the best 
solution is to move to a UHF channel.3 In addition, the proposed facility will increase the net total 
population served by the station.  
3. Channel 18 can be substituted for channel 7 at Panama City, Florida as proposed, in 
compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the Commission’s 
rules, at coordinates 30-25-59 N. and 85-24-51 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
