STATEMENT OF
COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS
Re: Paxson Communications License Company, LLC (Assignor) and Univision 
Communications, Inc. (Assignee) For Consent to the Assignment of the License 
for Station KTFF(TV), Porterville, California (File No. BALCT-20020730ABO, 
Facility ID No. 35512)
While I support today’s decision, I would have preferred an outcome whereby the Commission 
resolved all issues simultaneously with the grant of assignment that was made back in 2003.  The 
petitioner has raised genuine questions about, among other things, possible violations of the right to reject 
rule and time option rule.  Yet by segregating the license transfer from questions about the licensee’s 
compliance with our rules, analysis of serious issues is put off and denied timely resolution.  So I urge the 
Commission to move forward and resolve these underlying questions—without further delay.
