FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 97-170; RM-8980]
Television Broadcasting Services; San Bernardino and Long Beach,
CA
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document reallots Channel 18- from San Bernardino to Long
Beach, California, and modifies the license of KSLS, Inc. for Station
KSCI(TV) to specify operation on Channel 18- at Long Beach, as
requested, pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.420(i) of the
Commission's Rules. See 62 FR 42225, August 6, 1997. The reallotment of
Channel 18- to Long Beach will provide the larger community with its
first local television transmission service while retaining local
television service at San Bernardino. Coordinates used for Channel 18-
at Long Beach are 34-11-15 and 117-41-54. Although Long Beach is
located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the United States-Mexico
border, concurrence of the Mexican government to the reallotment of
Channel 18- from San Bernardino was not required based upon the
retention of the existing channel and transmitter site of Station
KSCI(TV). However, as a result of the granted reallotment request, the
Mexican government will be advised of the change to the TV Table of
Allotments. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 16, 1998.
