SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of STARadio Corporation, allots
Channel 293A at St. Anne, Illinois, as the community's first local
aural transmission service (RM-9272). See 63 FR 27902, May 21, 1998. At
the request of Milner Broadcasting Company, we also dismiss its
petition for rule making requesting the allotment of Channel 293A at
Beaverville, Illinois (RM-9358). Channel 293A can be allotted to St.
Anne in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation
requirements with a site restriction of 10.6 kilometers (6.6 miles)
southeast to avoid short-spacings to the licensed sites of Station
WYBA(FM), Channel 292A, Lansing, Illinois, and Station WGCY(FM),
Channel 292A, Gibson City, Illinois. The coordinates for Channel 293A
at St. Anne are 40-56-20 North Latitude and 87-39-10 West Longitude.
With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
EFFECTIVE DATE: September 27, 1999. The window period for filing
applications for Channel 293A at St. Anne, Illinois, will not be opened
at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this
channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.
