REQUEST FOR STAY OF PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
Adopted:  May 14, 2012 Released:  May 14, 2012
By the Deputy Chief, Media Bureau:
1. Petitioners, DIRECTV, LLC, DISH Network L.L.C., and the Satellite Broadcasting 
Association, as well as Respondent, the City of Chicago, Illinois have filed a joint motion with the 
Commission to stay the public comment period prescribed in the Media Bureau’s Public Notice 1 until 
after the Commission renders a decision in a similar proceeding involving the City of Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania.  The Parties assert that the Commission’s resolution of the City of Philadelphia matter will 
narrow, if not resolve, the issues in dispute involving the City of Chicago.  Because of the similarity of 
the issues presented by both petitions, the request for stay of the comment period is granted.  A new 
Public Notice with new filing dates will be issued after the Commission’s issuance of an order in the 
related City of Philadelphia proceeding.
2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the request for stay IS GRANTED.  IT IS 
FURTHERED ORDERED that the Public Notice, DA 12-663, IS CANCELLED.    
3. This action is taken by the Deputy Chief, Media Bureau, pursuant to authority delegated by 
Section 0.283 of the Commission’s rules.2
