Abstract
The Commission has been notified by PMCM TV, LLC ("PMCM"), the licensee of KNVN(TV), channel 3, Ely, Nevada, that it wished to the reallocate channel 3 from Ely, Nevada to Middletown, New Jersey, pursuant to section 331(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. While the Commission denied PMCM's Reallocation Request, PMCM appealed the decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which subsequently reversed the Commission's denial and remanded the Commission to approve PMCM's Reallocation Request. Therefore, channel 2 is allocated at Middletown, New Jersey as requested, as it complies with the principle community coverage and technical requirements set forth in the Commission's rules.
