E9-18254. Television Broadcasting Services; Bangor, ME

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Dismissal.

SUMMARY:

The Commission dismisses the pending rulemaking petition filed by Community Broadcasting Service (“Community Broadcasting”), the licensee of WABI-DT, digital channel 19, Bangor, Maine, which requests the substitution of channel 12 for digital channel 19 at Bangor. Community Broadcasting'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 Community Broadcasting's proposed channel substitution is not acceptable. Therefore, the Commission dismisses Community Broadcasting's petition for rulemaking.
