REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: March 16, 2011 Released:  March 21, 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 George S. Flinn, Jr. (“Flinn”), the licensee of WWJX, channel 51, Jackson, 
Mississippi.  Flinn requests the substitution of channel 23 for channel 51 at Jackson.  Flinn filed comments 
reaffirming his interest in the proposed channel substitution.  Cellular South, Inc. (“Cellular South”) filed 
comments in support.
2. We believe the public interest would be served by substituting channel 23 for channel 51 at 
Jackson.  In support, Flinn explains that his proposal addresses concerns of Cellular South regarding 
potential interference that may occur to Long Term Evolution (“LTE”) cellular base stations operating on  
adjacent channel spectrum.2 In its supporting comments, Cellular South states that it believes the operation 
of WWJX on channel 51 “creates a substantial likelihood of destructive interference” to Cellular South’s 
planned wireless system in Jackson,3 and that while “complex filtering arrangements might be sufficient to 
eliminate all potential destructive interference” between WWJX on channel 51 and Cellular South’s 
wireless system, “the cleanest solution to preventing destructive interference is to relocate the Channel 51 
DTV station to another available channel.”4
3. Channel 23 can be substituted for channel 51 at Jackson, Mississippi, as proposed, in 
 
1 Jackson, Mississippi, DA 11-96 (rel. Jan. 20, 2011).
