00-29623. Radio Broadcasting Services; Buckhead and Sparta, GA

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; denial.

SUMMARY:

The Commission denies the request of Barinowski Investment Company to substitute Channel 274C3 for Channel 274A, reallot the channel from Sparta to Buckhead, GA, as its first local aural service, and modify the license of Station WPMA-FM accordingly. See 65 FR 37753, June 16, 2000. The Commission found that the proposal would not result in a preferential arrangement of allotments because it would remove the sole local aural service from the more populous community and result in more presently underserved people losing service.
