## Abstract

The Commission has before it a petition for rulemaking filed by the Alabama Educational Television Commission ("AETC"), the licensee of station WBIQ(TV), Birmingham, Alabama. Previously, the Commission substituted channel *39 for channel *10 at AETC's request and AETC now seeks to return to its previously allotted channel *10. AETC states that allowing the station to remain on its previously allotted channel *10 will serve the public interest by allowing the station to conserve its limited resources, avoid disruption of service, eliminate the need for new facilities, and allow the funds saved to be redirected back into public interest programming.
