Abstract
A petition for rulemaking was filed by ION Media Atlanta License, Inc. ("ION Media"), the licensee of WPXA-TV, channel 51, Rome, Georgia, requesting the substitution of channel 31 for channel 51 at Rome. ION Media filed comments reaffirming its interest in the proposed channel substitution and explained that the channel substitution will allow it to serve all viewers currently receiving digital service while eliminating any potential interference with wireless operations in the Lower 700 MHZ A Block located adjacent to channel 51 in Rome. ION Media states that it will file an application for a construction permit for channel 31 and implement the change in accordance with the Commission's rules upon adoption of the channel substitution.
