At the request of ION Media License Company, LLC. (ION), licensee of television station WNPX-TV, channel 36, Cookeville, Tennessee (WNPX), the Commission is proposing to amend the Post- Transition Table of DTV Allotments by changing WNPX's community of license from Cookeville to Franklin, Tennessee, pursuant to section 1.420(i) of the Commission's rules. ION asserts that the proposed reallotment is consistent with the Commission's second allotment priority by providing Franklin with its first local transmission service. ION also asserts that the proposed reallotment will not deprive Cookeville of its sole broadcast station because it will continue to be served by station WCTE(TV), licensed to Upper Cumberland Broadcast Council, on channel *22 at Cookeville.
