The FCC is restoring VHF channel 9 to the St. George, Utah television allotment through a regulatory action, not a procurement. - Government agency: Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Media Bureau. - Action: Changes the St. George allotment from UHF channel 21 back to VHF channel 9, allowing KMYU(TV) to continue operating on channel 9 at its licensed parameters. - Petitioner/licensee: KUTV Licensee, LLC, which abandoned its plans to move the station to channel 21. - Technical review: FCC engineering review found the proposal meets coverage, technical, and interference-protection requirements. - Procurement: No products or services, quantities, part numbers, OEMs, or vendors are requested or identified.
Description
The Federal Communications Commission amends the Table of TV Allotments by substituting VHF channel 9 for UHF channel 21 at St. George, Utah. The change responds to a petition from KUTV Licensee, LLC, licensee of full-power television station KMYU(TV), which abandoned plans to move the station to channel 21 and seeks to continue operating on channel 9 at its licensed parameters. FCC staff found the proposal complies with coverage, technical, and interference-protection requirements. The final rule is effective November 12, 2026.
