REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: November 4, 2011 Released:  November 9, 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 Channel 32 Montgomery, LLC (“Channel 32”), the licensee of WNCF(TV), 
channel 32, Montgomery, Alabama.  Channel 32 requests the substitution of channel 31 for channel 32 at 
Montgomery.  Channel 32 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 31 for channel 32 at 
Montgomery.  Channel 32 believes that operation on channel 31 would allow fuller replication of the 
station’s former analog service area, and submitted a technical proposal showing that the proposed channel 
31 facility would significantly increase the geographic area within the station’s protected contour.  
3. Channel 31 can be substituted for channel 32 at Montgomery, Alabama as proposed, in 
compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of Section 73.625(a) of the Commission’s 
rules, at coordinates 32-08-58 N. and 86-46-51 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 
specifications:
City and State Channel Power Antenna HAAT Service Pop. 
(kW) (meters) (thous.)  
Montgomery, Alabama 31 720 473 642
4. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r) 
 
1 Montgomery, Alabama, DA 11-1414 (Vid. Div., rel. Aug. 18, 2011).
