The FCC Media Bureau granted Pine Telephone special relief to add a Portland, Oregon, cable community to the TV markets of Boise, Idaho, stations KBOI-TV and KTVB. The bureau also denied special relief for Pine’s Nampa, Idaho, stations KIVI and KTRV, and KNIN-TV Caldwell, Idaho, the bureau said Wednesday in an order (http://bit.ly/1qWY3oi). Because cable systems in the Halfway community have carried KBOI, KIVI and KTVB, for as long as there has been cable service there, “we find that these stations have demonstrable historic carriage, whereas KNIN-TV and KTRV-TV do not,” it said.
