FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No.95-74; RM-8579, RM-8690]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Benavides, Bruni, and Rio Grande
City, TX
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission denies a petition for rule making filed by
Benavides Communications requesting the reallotment of Channel 299C2
from Benavides to Bruni, Texas; the allotment of Channel 254A at
Benavides; and the modification of Station KXTM-FM's authorization to
specify Bruni as its community of license. See 60 FR 29817, June 6,
1995. The proposed reallotment was denied because granting Sound
Investments' counterproposal would provide first and second aural
reception service to a greater number of people. In response to a
counterproposal filed by Sound Investments unlimited, Inc.(RM-8690),
the Commission substitutes Channel 298C2 for Channel 276A at Rio Grande
City, Texas, and modifies Station KCTM-FM's license in accordance with
Section 1.420(g) of the Commission's Rules. Channel 298C2 can be
allotted to Rio Grande City in compliance with the Commission's minimum
distance separation requirements at coordinates 26-22-42 NL and 98-48-
48 WL. Mexican concurrence has been obtained for this allotment as a
specially negotiated short-spaced, limited allotment since Rio Grande
City is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican
border. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 9, 1998.
