FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 97-32; RM-8931; RM-9065]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Calico Rock and Leslie, AR
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 65765]]
SUMMARY: This document allots FM Channel 246A to Calico Rock, Arkansas,
as that community's first local aural transmission service in response
to a petition filed on behalf of Sugarloaf Broadcasting. See 62 FR
04227, January 29, 1997. Coordinates used for Channel 246A at Calico
Rock are 36-05-01 and 92-09-26. A counterproposal filed on behalf of
Leslie Broadcasters, seeking the allotment of Channel 246C2 to Leslie,
Arkansas, as that community's first local aural transmission service is
denied (RM-9065).
Our determination was reached after comparatively evaluating each
proposal. That analysis revealed that each community receives at least
five full-time aural reception services. Therefore, Calico Rock was
preferred as it is the larger community. With this action, the
proceeding is terminated.
DATES: Effective January 20, 1998. A filing window for Channel 246A at
Calico Rock, Arkansas, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the
issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by
the Commission in a subsequent Order.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Joyner, Mass Media Bureau, (202)
418-2180. Questions related to the window application filing process
should be addressed to the Audio Services Division, (202) 418-2700.
