S- {4. In reply, TCA states that, despite KMCTTV's assertions, it provided the station with a copy of   its latest signal strength test of KMCTTV's signal at the Ruston headend on December 19, 1996, and   even offered to have KMCTTV's engineer come to the headend site to review the signal quality issues.   .Had it received a copy of the complaint at that time, TCA maintains that it could have responded to the   premature filing of KMCTTV's must carry complaint and worked with the station. In addition, since the   MJonesboro and Winnfield systems were apparently included in KMCTTV's complaint, although not   mentioned in KMCTTV's original September 17, 1996 request for carriage, TCA states that it later" ,`(`(88k"   =conducted additional signal strength tests at those headends as well. TCA indicates that those tests also   confirm KMCTTV's inadequate signal strength and poor signal quality at those locations. TCA concludes   that should KMCTTV wish to install equipment at any of these three headend locations, it will cooperate   =and work with the station's engineers in an attempt to resolve any signal quality problems and will agree   to carry the station once those problems are resolved. However, TCA reaffirms its contention that the   =Bureau's original decision in this case was based on incomplete and inaccurate information and that there   should be no outstanding order against TCA for any system where KMCTTV fails to provide a good quality signal.  S- 5. In a supplemental filing, KMCTTV requests that the Bureau issue a final order in this proceeding   due to the fact that TCA has refused to fulfill its commitment and obligation to conduct joint signal testing   by repeatedly ignoring KMCTTV's attempts to coordinate such tests. KMCTTV states that it notified   TCA of the station's improvement to its facilities and the purchase of additional tower equipment.   Moreover, KMCTTV maintains that in anticipation of the joint testing, and in deference to TCA's   allegations of poor signal quality, it ordered and received preamplifiers and highgain antennas should   ithey prove necessary. However, KMCTTV asserts that it has never been given the opportunity to resolve this problem due to TCA's intransigence in this matter.  S0-@ DISCUSSION ă  S- ^6. The petition for reconsideration will be granted. Failure to serve a copy of a complaint on the   party whose conduct is complained of, given the nature of the dispute here, vitiates the basis for the   underlying decision. While it might be possible in some instances to treat the petition for reconsideration   as if it were the response to the initial complaint and adjudicate the proceeding on that basis, the record   in this proceeding is now sufficiently confused that we do not believe that would be an appropriate course   to follow. Accordingly, TCA's petition will be granted. This action, however, is without prejudice to KMCTTV filing a new complaint.  S- $7. Accordingly, the petition for reconsideration, filed March 26, 1997, on behalf of TCA  Sx-Management Company, IS GRANTED.  S(- m8. This action is taken pursuant to authority delegated in 0.321 and 1.106 of the Commission's Rules. ` `  hh,FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION ` `  hh,William H.
