The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has received a petition from Gray Television Licensee, LLC to change the TV broadcast channel in Hazard, Kentucky, from channel 20 back to channel 12 for WYMT-TV. Gray Television faced challenges in completing construction for channel 20 and wishes to continue operating on channel 12, which is currently in use. The proposed change is consistent with FCC rules and ensures continuous service to viewers in the area. Public comments on this proposal must be submitted by April 3, 2025, and reply comments by April 18, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The FCC is thinking about letting a TV station in Hazard, Kentucky, keep using channel 12 instead of switching to channel 20 because it didn't work out as planned, and they want to ensure people can still watch the station without problems. People have until April 3, 2025, to share their thoughts about this idea.
