Abstract
A petition for rulemaking was filed by LeSEA Broadcasting of South Bend, Inc. ("LeSEA"), the licensee of station WHME-TV, channel 48, South Bend, Indiana. Previously, the Commission substituted channel 46 for channel 48 at LeSEA's request, and LeSEA now seeks to return to its previously allotted channel 48. LeSEA believes that grant of this reallotment would serve the public interest by allowing the station to continue to operate its currently licensed facilities and to channel the monies it would have spent building out channel 46 facilities into its current service.
