E6-6296. Radio Broadcasting Services; Eldorado, Fort Stockton, Mason and Mertzon, TX

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY:

Audio Division, at the request of Katherine Pyeatt, dismisses the petition for rule making proposing the allotment of Channel 241A at Eldorado, Texas (RM-10479). We also deny the counterproposal filed by BK Radio proposing the substitution of Channel 239C2 for Channel 240C2 at Mason, the reallotment of Channel 240C2 from Mason to Mertzon, and the modification of Station KOTY(FM)'s license accordingly (RM-10770). We find that the counterproposal does not constitute a preferential arrangement of allotments because the reallotment of Channel 240C2 to Mertzon as a third local FM transmission service would create a gray area.
