FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 96-94; RM-8790]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Eufaula, Wagoner and Warner, OK
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Tri-
Mac Broadcasting seeking the reallotment of Channel 271A from Wagoner
to Warner, Oklahoma, and the modification of Station KRQZ-FM's license
to specify Warner as its community of license. We also propose the
substitution of Channel 273C3 for Channel 272A at Eufaula, Oklahoma,
and the modification of Station KCES' license to specify operation on
the higher class channel. Channel 271A can be allotted to Warner in
compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation
requirements with a site restriction of 3.0 kilometers (1.9 miles)
west, at coordinates 35-29-16 NL; 95-20-15 WL, to avoid a short-spacing
to the reference coordinates for Station KEOK, Channel 269C3,
Tahlequah, OK, and Station KENA-FM, Channel 271C3, Mena, AR. Channel
273C3 can be allotted to Eufaula with a site restriction of 18.2
kilometers (11.3 miles) south, which is the transmitter site specified
in Station KCES' pending application (BPH-960319ID). In accordance with
Sections 1.420(i) and (g), competing expressions of interest in the use
of Channel 271A at Warner or Channel 273C3 at Eufaula will not be
accepted.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before June 17, 1996, and reply
comments on or before July 2, 1996.
