Scripps Broadcasting Holdings LLC (the “Licensee”), licensee of KASW(TV), Phoenix, Arizona (Facility ID No. 7143) (“KASW”), hereby requests that its guest ATSC 1.0 multicast streams be licensed in connection with the operation of KASW as a Next Gen TV broadcast facility.
Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 73.3801(i)(4), the Licensee provides the following information in support of this request:
KASW Primary and Multicast ATSC 1.0 Streams
Attached hereto are contour overlay maps demonstrating the above-referenced predicted percentages of population within the noise limited service contour served by KASW’s original 1.0 signal that are served by the Host Stations.
The above-referenced programming streams are the same number of programming streams, and in the same resolutions as, the programming streams that KASW was broadcasting on its own 1.0 facility prior to transitioning to 3.0. Accordingly, the Licensee is not seeking to license more capacity on the Host Stations, in the aggregate, than KASW would use if it were still operating its own facility in 1.0.
KASW schedules at least three-hours per week of core programming on its primary stream, and therefore does not currently, and does not intend to, rely on its non-primary multicast streams for compliance with the Commission’s children’s television programming requirements. Accordingly, KASW’s compliance with the Commission’s children’s television programming requirements and viewers’ access to the station’s core programming is not affected by the broadcast of its multicast streams from the Host Stations. In any event, as noted above, KASW’s multicast streams will be carried on Host Stations that each serve at least 95 percent of the predicted population served by KASW’s original 1.0 signal.
The Licensee has provided the required notification to viewers and the relevant MVPD distributors.
Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 73.3801(f)(6)(i)(D), this ATSC 1.0 Host Exhibit is accessible from a “1.0 Host Exhibit” link on KASW’s public website (https://arizona61.com/) which links to the following page: https://www.abc15.com/kasw-atsc-1-0-host-exhibit
