The FCC Media Bureau granted a rulemaking petition to Western Pacific Broadcast, which requested a change in community of license to Dover, Del. The public interest would be served by realloting Channel 5 from Seaford, and modifying the construction permit for Western’s WMDE-TV, an unbuilt station, accordingly, the bureau said in a report and order (http://bit.ly/1hXADc7). The change in community of license wouldn’t result in a change in Western Pacific’s proposed contour coverage of Seaford, it said. The bureau also dismissed a reconsideration petition filed by PMCM-TV on a report and order to amend the post-transition table of DTV allotments to allot Channel 5 to Seaford. The bureau dismissed the petition as untimely, it said in a memorandum opinion and order on further reconsideration (http://bit.ly/1n2O8L2).
