[MM Docket No. 98-191; RM-9351]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Leesville, LA
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rule making
filed on behalf of Pene Broadcasting Company, Inc., licensee of Station
KJAE(FM), Channel 224A, Leesville, Louisiana, seeking the substitution
of Channel 228C3 for Channel 224A and modification of its license
accordingly to specify operation on the higher powered channel.
Coordinates for this proposal are 31-11-29 NL and 93-14-35 WL.
Petitioner's modification proposal is consistent with the
provisions of Section 1.420(g)(2) of the Commission's Rules since it
demonstrated that an additional equivalent channel can be allotted to
Leesville in the event other parties indicate an interest in the
proposal. Therefore, we will not accept competing expressions of
interest in the use of Channel 228C3 at Leesville.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before December 14, 1998, and reply
comments on or before December 29, 1998.
