For each year, the data must be obtained as a result of independent  xprofessional surveys taken during two oneweek periods which are separated by at least thirty days and  xare distributed proportionately among the relevant cable communities and not more than one of the  S(surveys may be taken between April and September of each year.?X yO (ԍ47 C.F.R. 76.54(b).?  S( III. SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS  SJ ( ` t4. ` ` In support of its petition, WPGATV states that it previously requested and was denied  xsimilar relief against WSBTV when the Bureau found that WPGATV had failed to establish that the  xNielsen Media Research audience data it submitted constituted a representative sample of noncable homes  S ( xpin Macon, Georgia, for the purpose of demonstrating overtheair viewing in that community.]  {OZ(ԍSee Radio Perry, Inc., 11 FCC Rcd 10564 (1996).] In the  x4petition herein, WPGATV seeks to prove that WSBTV is no longer significantly viewed in Macon, Payne City, and the surrounding unincorporated areas of Bibb County, Georgia.  S2( ` <5. ` ` WPGATV states that it commenced operations on June 20, 1995 and became an affiliate  S ( x~of the ABC Television Network on January 1, 1996.6 z yO$(ԍPetition at 2.6 Licensed to Perry, Georgia, located in the Macon,  xGeorgia ADI, WPGATV indicates that it competes directly with three other Macon ADI network affiliate  xFstations WMAZTV (CBS), WMGTTV (NBC) and WGXATV (FOX). WPGATV states that the Cox  xcable system serving Macon carries all of its markets' network affiliates. In addition, WPGATV points  x*out that Cox also carries the nonnetwork programming of four Atlanta, Georgia network affiliates  x4WAGATV (CBS), WATLTV (FOX), WXIATV (NBC), and WSBTV (ABC) even though the  xAtlanta affiliates' Grade B contours do not encompass any of Bibb County and are located approximately  x80 miles from Macon. WPGATV states that while the other Macon ADI affiliates are afforded  x8nonduplication protection against their respective Atlanta ADI affiliates, WPGATV is not provided with  xsuch protection against WSBTV because WSBTV is considered to be significantly viewed in Bibb  Sz(County.z  {O$!( x.ԍWSBTV was listed as significantly viewed in Appendix B of the Reconsideration of the Cable Television  {O!(Report and Order, 36 FCC 2d 326, 278463 (1972).  S*( ` 6. ` ` WPGATV argues that the surveys it commissioned from VideoProbeIndex, Inc. clearly  xdemonstrate that WSBTV can no longer be deemed to be significantly viewed in Macon, Payne City and  S( xunincorporated Bibb County.W f  yO&(ԍPetition at Exhibit 2; Supplement at Exhibit 1.W Specifically, WPGATV states that these surveys indicate that WSBTV's" ,`(`(88^"  x$share of viewing hours and net weekly circulation in each of the locations surveyed consistently equaled  S( x0%.1  {O@(ԍId.1 As such, WPGATV maintains that is it entitled to the same network nonduplication protection that  xthe other network affiliates in its market enjoy. WPGATV asserts that maintaining WSBTV's exception  xin this instance would not only disserve the public, but force WPGATV, as a new local station, to unfairly compete against network affiliates which already have the advantage of nonduplication protection.  S8(  S( IV. DISCUSSION  S( ` 7. ` ` WPGATV has provided two sets of systemspecific survey results for Macon, Payne City,  xband unincorporated Bibb County, Georgia, for each year surveyed. The first year's surveys were  xconducted during the weeks of October 2228, 1997, and January 1420, 1998, and the second year's  SH ( xsurveys during the weeks of October 2127, 1998, and January 1319, 1999. Section 76.54(b) and KCST S" ( xTV, Inc. both allow that surveys may be community or system specific. In the case of systemspecific  x$surveys, as in this case, Section 76.54(b) states that "[i]f a cable television system serves more than one  xcommunity, a single survey may be taken, provided that the sample includes noncable television homes  S ( x8from each community that are proportional to the population."? Z yO(ԍ47 C.F.R. 76.54(b).? According to the survey, Payne City is  xsurrounded by Macon and has a minute population, there is no statistical basis for a separate sampling  xof that community in the systemspecific surveys it provided WPGATV and that, statistically and  xgeographically, a random sample of the City of Macon is also representative of Payne City. We agree  x`that this is a reasonable assumption and should not invalidate the survey data provided. Accordingly, we  xfind that WPGATV has demonstrated that WSBTV does not meet the criteria for significantly viewed  S(status for the two survey years and has met the test set forth in KCSTTV, Inc.  S(  Sn( ` 8. ` ` For the above reasons, we find that a grant of a waiver of the significantly viewed  x`exemption from the network nonduplication rules with regard to the systemspecific survey submitted by  xWPGATV for Macon, Payne City and unincorporated Bibb County, Georgia, will serve the public interest.  S( V. ORDERING CLAUSES  SV( ` 9. ` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED , that the petition filed by Radio Perry, Inc. IS  S.(GRANTED.  S( `  10. ` ` This action is taken pursuant to authority delegated under Section 0.321 of the  S(Commission's Rules.<  yO@"(ԍ47 C.F.R. 0.321.< ` `  ,hhhFEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ` `  ,hhhWilliam H.
