(Petitioner or OMI), licensee of KQSL(TV), channel 8, Fort Bragg, California. The Petitioner further requests modification of its license to specify Cloverdale as its community of license. OMI filed comments in support of the Petition, as required by the rules. Another commenter filed comments raising issues outside the scope of this proceeding and therefore the Commission declined to consider them. The staff engineering analysis finds that the proposal is in compliance with the Commission's principal community coverage and technical requirements. The public interest would be served by reallotting channel 8 from Fort Bragg to Cloverdale in the table consistent with the technical parameters set forth in the Petition. </SUM> <EFFDATE> <HD SOURCE="HED">DATES:</HD> Effective January 20, 2026. </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> in MB Docket No. 25-246; RM-12007; DA 25-1052, adopted and released on December 11, 2025.
