### Description

The Federal Communications Commission amends the Table of TV Allotments by substituting VHF channel 9 for UHF channel 21 at St. George, Utah.

FCC staff found the proposal complies with coverage, technical, and interference-protection requirements. The final rule is effective November 12, 2026.
