Media Bureau Grants Partial OK of KVTJ-DT Market Modification

The FCC Media Bureau is partially modifying the local satellite-TV market of KVTJ-DT, Jonesboro, Arkansas, for DirecTV and Dish Network, said a docket 17-157 order Wednesday. Victory TV sought the addition of five Arkansas and two Missouri counties, and the petition was unopposed, the bureau said. But DirecTV showed technical or economic infeasibility for 59 ZIP codes, and Dish did likewise with one county and part of another, the bureau said, granting the petition except for those contested areas.
