2. As a result of a reorganization, two U.S. stations that Cancom is authorized to distribute have changed affiliations. KIRO-TV Seattle, formerly listed as an independent station is now a CBS affiliate and KSTW Tacoma/Seattle formerly listed as a CBS affiliate is now an independent station.

3. Both signals currently appear on the Lists of Eligible Satellite Services. KSTW appears in Section A of the List of Part 2 Eligible satellite services and KIRO-TV appears in section B. As part of its application, Cancom has requested that KIRO-TV be moved to Section A and KSTW to Section B. Cancom also requested that the change of affiliation be reflected on the Part 3 list.
