FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[DA 99-1668; MM Docket No. 98-223; RM-9340; RM-9481; RM-9482]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Cherry Valley, AR; Cotton Plant, AR
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
[[Page 47405]]
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission denies a petition for rule making filed by
ALALATEX Broadcasters, proposing the allotment of FM Channel 257A to
Cherry Valley, Arkansas (RM-9340). See 63 FR 69609, December 17, 1998.
In response to separate counterproposals filed on behalf of Woodruff
County Broadcasting (RM-9481) and Bobby Caldwell (RM-9482), the
Commission allots Channel 257A to Cotton Plant, Arkansas. Our
determination was reached after comparatively evaluating each proposal.
That analysis revealed that each community receives at least five full-
time aural reception services. Therefore, Cotton Plant was preferred as
it is the larger community. Coordinates used for Channel 257A at Cotton
Plant are 34-55-32 NL and 91-09-32 WL. With this action, the proceeding
is terminated.
DATES: Effective October 4, 1999.
