                        REPORT AND ORDER
                     (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted:  April 4, 2001              Released:  April 6, 2001  

By the Chief, Video Services Division:

     1.  At the request of Iberia Communications, L.L.C. ("Iberia"), the Commission has before
it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 16 FCC Rcd 663 (2000), proposing the substitution of
channel 53 for channel 36- at New Iberia, Louisiana.  Iberia filed responsive comments expressing
its interest in applying for channel 53, if allotted to New Iberia.

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served by the channel substitution since it would
permit Iberia to implement the first local TV service at New Iberia.  A staff engineering analysis
indicates that channel 53 can be allotted to New Iberia with a minus offset in compliance with the
minimum distance separation requirements of Sections 73.610 and 73.698 of the Commission Rules
and with the criteria set forth in the Commission's Public Notice.  The coordinates for channel 53- 
at New Iberia are North Latitude 30-12-48 and West Longitude 91-45-58.     

     3.  Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r)
and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and 0.283
of the Commission's Rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective Mary 21, 2001, the TV Table of
Allotments, Section 73.606(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED, with respect to the
community listed below, to read as follows:

                    City                Channel No.
                    
                    New Iberia, Louisiana               53-

     4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That within 45 days of the effective date of this Order,
Iberia Communications, L.L.C. shall submit to the Commission a minor amendment to its pending
application for a construction permit for a new television station at New Iberia, Louisiana,
specifying Channel 53- in lieu of Channel 36-. 

     5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

     6.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Pam Blumenthal, Mass
Media Bureau, (202) 418-1600.
