Re: WCWF(DT), Suring, WI, ID No. 73042,
File No. BALCDT-20100917AAF.
Dear Counsel:
This is in regard to the application to assign the license of digital television station WCWF(DT),' Suring,
Wisconsin, from ACME Television, Inc. ("ACME") to LIN Television of Wisconsin, LLC ( "LIN").
WCWF(DT) is assigned to the Green Bay-Appleton, Wisconsin Designated Market Area ("DMA") and
LIN is the licensee of WLUK-TV, the FOX affiliate in Green Bay. The applicants have requested a
waiver of Section 73.3555(b)(2)2 of the Commission's Rules, the local television multiple ownership rule
or duopoly rule under the "failing station" waiver standard. A petition to deny the assignment was filed
by Time Warner Cable Inc. ("TWC") and oppositions were filed by LIN and ACME, with a reply filed by
TWC.' For the reasons stated below, we deny the petition, grant the waiver, and grant the application.
Background. TWC has raised two issues in its petition to deny. First, it contends that grant of the
assignment application and the requested waiver would permit a single entity, LIN, to negotiate
retransmission consent for two stations in the same market. TWC argues that this would be improper and
'At the time the application was filed the station's call letters were W1WB(TV).
47 C.F.R. 73.3555(bX2).
SA response to the reply was filed by ACME outside of the pleading cycle. Because it addresses arguments raised
for the first time in the reply, we will consider it here.5189
