Abstract
The Commission has before it a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued in response to a petition for rulemaking filed by TDS Broadcasting LLC ("TDS"), the licensee of KOHD, channel 51, Bend, Oregon, requesting the substitution of channel 18 for channel 51 at Bend. TDS filed comments reaffirming its interest in the proposed channel substitution and stated that if the proposal is granted, it will promptly file an application for the facilities specified in its rulemaking petition and construct the station. TDS also reiterates that the grant of the petition would serve the public interest because its operation on channel 18 would eliminate potential interference to and from wireless operations in the Lower 700 MHZ A Block located adjacent to channel 51 in Portland, Oregon market, permitting the wireless licensee to expand service to additional consumers sooner than would otherwise be possible.
