Published Date: 3/18/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
Gray Television, which runs KVVU-TV in Henderson, Nevada, wants to switch back to channel 9 instead of moving to channel 24 as planned.

Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
KVVU-TV stays on channel 9
You may keep receiving KVVU-TV in Henderson because the FCC proposes to substitute channel 9 for the previously allotted channel 24 for KVVU-TV. Gray no longer plans to build the channel 24 facility (its construction permit expired or would have expired on February 28, 2025), and the FCC found the channel 9 substitution (at coordinates 36°00'25.8" N, 115°00'24.9" W) meets its coverage and technical rules.
