United states North Texas never provided it with results of any  xjsignal strength tests, that North Texas does not carry KINZ(TV) on the cable system servings Muenster  xand Valley View, and that North Texas has made no committment to carry KINZ(TV) in the future.  xUnited asserts that KINZ(TV) is entitled under these circumstances to mustcarry status on North Texas's cable systems serving Muenster and Valley View.  SH - ` x4.` ` In opposition, North Texas asserts that to the best of its information and belief KINZ(TV)  xjdoes not provide a viewable offtheair signal in or around either Muenster or Valley View. It states that  xKINZ(TV) is located approximately 78 miles from Muenster and about 60 miles from Valley View. North  xTexas states that it conducted signal level tests which purport to show that KINZ(TV) fails to deliver a  xygood quality signal to the headends of its cable systems. Finally, North Texas contends that since United  xhas made no commitment to bear the cost of delivering a good quality signal to the Muenster and Valley View cable systems, KINZ(TV) is not entitled to carriage.  S- ` x5.` ` United in reply claims that North Texas failed to show that the signal strength studies were  xconducted in accordance with sound engineering practices as required by Commission rules. In any event,  xLUnited made a commitment made "to provide North Texas with any specialized equipment necessary to  xupgrade its signal," and asserts that "the Station is a qualified local commercial television station entitled  Sh- xto carriage under the Commission's rules."[hf yO-#X\  P6G;IP#эReply, p. 4.[ United argues that because it offers to provide, at its own  xexpense, any equipment necessary to deliver a good quality signal to North Texas's facilities, the results  x[of the signal strength measurements lack legal significance, and that its commitment warrants grant of the complaint.  S-( DISCUSSION TP  SP- ` Cx6.` ` We will grant United's complaint. Under the Commission's mustcarry rules, cable  x operators have the burden of showing that a commercial station that is located in the same television  S- xmarket is not entitled to carriage.uXf {O- xx#X\  P6G;IP#эSee Must Carry Order at 2990. Those filing mustcarry complaints are reminded that 47 C.F.R.  76.7(c)(1)  xrequires a statement of "all pertinent facts and considerations relied upon to demonstrate the need for the relief  xrequested ...," including a showing, missing here, that the television station requesting carriage and the communities  {OR!- x<served by the cable system on which carriage is requested are located in the same television market. See also 47  xU.S.C.  534(h)(1)(A). Nonetheless, in order to resolve the issues, Commission staff has determined that Muenster and Valley View, Texas are located in the DallasFort Worth ADI along with television station KINZTV.u One method of doing so is for a cable operator to establish that a  xLsubject television station's signal, which would otherwise be entitled to carriage, does not provide a good  S- xquality signal to a cable system's principal headend.of yO$&-#X\  P6G;IP#э47 C.F.R. 76.55(c)(3).o Should a station fail to provide the requisite over xtheair signal quality to a cable system's principal headend, its carriage nevertheless may not be"d ,>(>(II"  S- xforeclosed, because under our rules, a station may provide a cable operator with specialized equipment,  x?at the station's expense, which will improve the station's signal to an acceptable quality at a cable  S-system's principal headend.nf {O-#X\  P6G;IP#эMust Carry Order at 2991.n  S`- ` x7.` ` In this instance, North Texas failed to submit signal strength studies showing compliance  S8- xywith Commission requirements for use of sound engineering practices.dX8Zf yO2-#X\  P6G;IP#эThe signal strength tests results are stated in the Opposition. However, copies of the reports prepared by the technicians performing the tests were not provided for the record and, more importantly, the stated results fail to show when the test equipment was last calibrated.d North Texas therefore has failed  x.to show that United does not provide a sufficient offair signal to North Texas's cable system headends.  xIn any event, United has made a commitment on this record to deliver an adequate signal to North Texas's  xcable systems and to pay any associated costs, in accordance with 614(h)(1)(B)(iii) of the Communications Act of 1934.
