FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 94-100, RM-8509]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Okmulgee, Nowata and Pawhuska,
Oklahoma
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed jointly
by Integrated Broadcasting Company, Inc., requesting the substitution
of Channel 231C1 for Channel 231C2 at Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and the
modification of Station KTHK(FM)'s license to specify operation on the
higher class channel, and by KRIG, Inc., requesting the substitution of
Channel 286C3 for Channel 232A at Nowata, Oklahoma, and the
modification of Station KRIG(FM)'s license to specify operation on the
higher class channel or alternatively to substitute Channel 285A for
Channel 232A at Nowata and the modification of Station KRIG(FM)'s
license to specify the alternate Class A channel. To accommodate the
allotment of Channel 286C3 to Nowata, the Commission also proposes to
substitute Channel 280A for unoccupied and unapplied-for Channel 285A
at Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Should no interest be expressed in the use of
Channel 280A at Pawhuska, the Commission alternatively proposes to
delete Channel 285A at Pawhuska without replacement. In accordance with
Section 1.420(g), the licenses of Stations KTHK(FM) and KRIG(FM) can be
modified as proposed without affording interested persons an
opportunity to submit competing expressions of interest or requiring
the petitioners to demonstrate the availability of an additional
equivalent higher class channel.
DATES: Comments must be filed on or before Nov. 7, 1994, and reply
comments on or before November 22, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington D.C. 20554. In
addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested parties should

compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation
requirements at Station KTHK(FM)'s presently licensed site, at
coordinates 35-50-02 North Latitude and 96-07-28 West Longitude.
Channel 286C3 can be allotted to Nowata with a site restriction of 13.6

KRIG's presently licensed site, at coordinates 36-44-35; 95-45-17.
