[MM Docket No. 95-83; RM-8634]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Littlefield, Wolfforth and Tahoka,
TX
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission is issuing a Request for Supplemental
Information regarding the proposal filed by 21st Century Radio
Ventures, Inc., permittee of Station KAIQ(FM), Channel 238C3,
Littlefield, Texas, proposing the reallotment of Channel 238C3 from
Littlefield to Wolfforth, Texas, and the modification of Station
KAIQ(FM)'s construction permit to specify Wolfforth as its community of
license. To accommodate this reallotment, 21st Century also proposed
either the deletion or substitution of the Channel 237A allotment at
Tahoka, Texas. See Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 10 FCC Rcd 6598
(1995). We request that 21st Century submit information sufficient to
show that Wolfforth is deserving of a first local service preference
using the Commission's three factors enumerated in RKO General (KFRC)
and Faye and Richard Tuck. The Request for Supplemental Information
does not afford any parties an opportunity to file counterproposals.
