Television Broadcasting Services Gadsden and Hoover, Alabama

At the request of ION Media License Company, LLC. (ION), licensee of television station WPXH-TV, channel 45, Gadsden, Alabama (WPXH), the Commission has before it an unopposed Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the Post-Transition Table of DTV Allotments by changing WPXH's community of license from Gadsden to Hoover, Alabama. The Commission believes that the proposed reallotment is consistent with the Commission's second allotment priority by providing Hoover with its first local transmission service. The Commission also notes that the proposed reallotment will not deprive Gadsden of its sole broadcast station because it will continue to be served by station WTJP-TV, licensed to Trinity Christian Center of Santa Ana, Inc. on channel 26 at Gadsden. We also grant ION's requested waiver of the Commission's rules.
