filed on behalf of Bragg Broadcasting Corporation, licensee of Station
KSAR(FM), Channel 240A, Salem, Arkansas, and KFCM, Inc., licensee of
Station KFCM(FM), Channel 265A, Cherokee Village, Arkansas, proposing
the substitution of Channel 265A for Channel 240A at Salem and
modification of the license for Station KSAR(FM) accordingly. To
accommodate the Salem modification, petitioner requests the
substitution of Channel 252A for Channel 265A at Cherokee Village and
concomitant modification of the license for its co-owned Station

equivalent channel substitutions, we will not accept competing
expressions of interest for the use of Channel 265A at Salem, Arkansas,
or for Channel 252A at Cherokee Village, Arkansas.
