This document amends the Table of TV Allotments (table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules by substituting channel *33 for channel *8 at Hutchinson, Kansas in response to a Petition for Rulemaking filed by Kansas Public Telecommunications Service, Inc. (Kansas Public or Petitioner), the licensee of noncommercial educational PBS member television station KPTS(TV) (KPTS or Station), Hutchinson, Kansas. In support of its channel substitution request, the Petitioner asserts that allowing the Station to move from a VHF to a UHF channel would serve the public interest by improving signal reception for viewers.
