To continue local service at Corona de Tucson, it reallots Channel 253A from Vail, Arizona, to Corona de Tucson, and modifies the Station KRDX license to specify Corona de Tucson as the community of license. To replace local service at Vail, it substitutes Channel 279A for Channel 279C1 at Lordsburg, New Mexico, reallots Channel 279A to Vail, and modifies the outstanding construction permit (File No. BNPH-20050609ABD) to specify operation on Channel 279A at Vail. Finally, it allots Channel 279C1 to Animas, New Mexico, and Channel 228C1 to Virden, New Mexico, as first local services.
