A small Oregon TV station can finally reach its viewers without interference

The US communications regulator proposes changing a TV channel assignment in Jacksonville, Oregon. This allows a local noncommercial station to switch from a problematic channel to one that works better for viewers.

For years, some TV stations have struggled to reach viewers because their assigned channels suffer from reception issues. This small change means a local station can actually broadcast to its community without technical problems. It's a tiny fix, but it makes a local public service viable.
