Final rule.

SUMMARY:

This document grants a Counterproposal filed by Cumulus Licensing LLC in response to the Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding. See 70 FR 8558, February 22, 2005. Specifically, the license of Station KBED, Channel 300C2, Oil City, Louisiana, is modified to specify operation on Channel 247C2 at Waskom, Texas. To accommodate this reallotment, this document makes four related channel substitutions. Channel 300C2 is substituted for vacant Channel 247C2 at Longview, Texas. The license of Station KTBQ, Channel 299C2, Nacogdoches, Texas, is modified to specify operation on Channel 299C3. The license of Station KDBH, Channel 247C3, Natchitoches, Louisiana, is modified to specify operation on Channel 248A. The license of Station KPCH, Channel 249C1, Dubach, Louisiana, is modified to specify operation on Channel 249C2. To replace the loss of the sole local service at Oil City, this document modifies the license of Station KRMD, Channel 266C, Shreveport, Louisiana, to specify Oil City as the community of license. The reference coordinates for the Channel 247C2 allotment at Waskom, Texas, are 32-29-36 and 93-45-55.
