The Commission grants the request by Gray Television License, LLC (Gray) to substitute channel 7 for channel 5 for station KYES-TV, Anchorage, Alaska. Gray filed comments reaffirming its interest in the proposed channel substitution and stating that if the proposal is granted, it will promptly file an application for the facilities specified in the rulemaking petition and construct the station. As Gray explained in its petition, the antenna currently used by KYES-TV is a repurposed analog antenna the previous station owner built which provides an inefficient signal. In addition, the current remote transmission site does not have a generator and KYES-TV goes silent when there is a power outage. By moving to sister station KTUU's location, and operating with an existing modern broadband antenna on a high-VHF channel, the station will be able to deliver an improved signal. Gray will also add the KYES-TV signal to the translator network used by KTUU, which will reduce most of the loss of service that would result from the proposed move, which will serve the public interest.

47 CFR Part 73

[MB Docket No. 17-187; RM-11792; DA 17-1062]


Television Broadcasting Services; Anchorage, Alaska

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission grants the request by Gray Television License, 
LLC (Gray) to substitute channel 7 for channel 5 for station KYES-TV, 
Anchorage, Alaska. Gray filed comments reaffirming its interest in the 
proposed channel substitution and stating that if the proposal is 
granted, it will promptly file an application for the facilities 
specified in the rulemaking petition and construct the station. As Gray 
explained in its petition, the antenna currently used by KYES-TV is a 
repurposed analog antenna the previous station owner built which 
provides an inefficient signal. In addition, the current remote 
transmission site does not have a generator and KYES-TV goes silent 
when there is a power outage. By moving to sister station KTUU's 
location, and operating with an existing modern broadband antenna on a 
high-VHF channel, the station will be able to deliver an improved 
signal. Gray will also add the KYES-TV signal to the translator network 
used by KTUU, which will reduce most of the loss of service that would 
result from the proposed move, which will serve the public interest.

DATES: This rule is effective December 18, 2017.
