As part of the overarching larger merger of the companies, the FCC has approved Alpha Media’s waiver of the Commission’s local radio ownership rules to transfer control of its five licensed stations in the Tyler-Longview, TX market to Connoisseur Media.

This document amends the Table of TV Allotments (table) of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules by substituting channel 9 for channel 24 at Henderson, Nevada in response to a Petition for Rulemaking filed by Gray Television Licensee, LLC (Gray), the licensee of KVVU-TV, Henderson, Nevada. The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements. The substitution of channel 9 for channel 24 in the table will allow the station to continue to operate on its licensed channel and provide uninterrupted service to its viewers.

This document amends the Table of FM Allotments, of the Federal Communications Commission's (Commission) rules, by substituting Channel 276C2 for vacant Channel 244C2 and Channel 252C3 for vacant Channel 276C3 at Matador, Texas. A staff engineering analysis determines that Channel 276C2 can be allotted to Matador, consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules with a site restriction of 27 kilometers (16.8 miles) west of the community. The reference coordinates are 33-56-19 NL and 101-06-08 WL. The staff engineering analysis indicates that Channel 252C3 can be allotted to Matador consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the Commission's rules, with a site restriction of 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) southeast of the community. The reference coordinates are 33-57-50 NL and 100-42-07 WL.
