FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 09-650; MB Docket No. 08-101; RM-11438]


Television Broadcasting Services; Ann Arbor, MI

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Dismissal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission dismisses the pending rulemaking petition filed 
by Paxson Communications License Company, LLC (``Paxson''), permittee 
of WPXD-DT, post-transition digital television channel 31, which 
proposes to substitute digital television channel 19 for post-
transition digital television channel 31 at Ann Arbor, Michigan. 
Paxson's proposed channel substitution requires coordination and 
concurrence with the Canadian government because the proposed facility 
is located within the Canadian coordination zone. The Canadian 
government has indicated that Paxson's proposed channel substitution is 
not acceptable. Therefore, the Commission cannot approve Paxson's 
rulemaking petition.
