The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements. The substitution of channel *29 for channel *13 in the table will not result in any loss of existing service and it will also allow LETA to remedy its known viewer reception issues on its currently authorized VHF channel. </SUM> <EFFDATE> <HD SOURCE="HED">DATES:</HD> Effective April 10, 2025. </EFFDATE> <FURINF> <HD SOURCE="HED">FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:</HD> Emily Harrison, Media Bureau, at <E T="03">Emily.Harrison@fcc.gov,</E> (202) 418-1665, or Mark Colombo, Media Bureau, at <E T="03">Mark.Colombo@fcc.gov,</E> (202) 418-7611. </FURINF> <SUPLINF> <HD SOURCE="HED">SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:</HD> This is a synopsis of the Commission's <E T="03">Report and Order,</E> MB Docket No. 25-14; RM-11994; DA 25-304, adopted April 3, 2025, and released April 3, 2025.
