## Abstract

The Commission, at the request of Vista Communications, Inc. and Pelican Broadcasting Company, Inc. substitutes channel 46+ for channel 61+ at Bay City, Michigan. See 66 FR 20128, April 19, 2001. TV channel 46+ can be allotted to Bay City with a plus offset in compliance with the principal community coverage requirements of Sec. 73.610 at coordinates 43-26-07 N. and 84-26-12 W. However, the allotment of channel 46+ does not provide protection to the DTV channel 46 allotments at Sarnia, Hanover and Straford, Ontario. Nevertheless, Canadian concurrence in the allotment of channel 46+, as a specially negotiated allotment, has been received since Vista Communications could limit its power in the direction of Sarnia, Hanover and Straford to avoid prohibited overlap. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
