05-22836. Radio Broadcasting Services; Hemlock and Mount Pleasant, MI

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Final rule; denial of petition for reconsideration.

SUMMARY:

The staff denied a petition for reconsideration filed by MacDonald Broadcasting Company of a decision in this proceeding, reallotting and changing the community of license for Station WCEN-FM, Channel 233C1, from Mount Pleasant, MI, to Hemlock MI. The staff determined that the reconsideration petition did not demonstrate any errors of fact or law. Specifically, because Hemlock is not located inside the Saginaw, MI, Urbanized Area and because the station will not place a city-grade signal over 50 percent or more of that Urbanized Area, a Tuck showing was not required to demonstrate that Hemlock is sufficiently independent of the Saginaw Urbanized Area to warrant a first local service preference. See 66 FR 55598 (November 2, 2001).
