FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 93-214, RM-8287, RM-8350]

 

Radio Broadcasting Services; Ocracoke, Edenton, Columbia, Pine 
Knoll Shores, NC

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule, dismissal of.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission denies the petition for rulemaking filed by 
Ocracoke Broadcasters requesting the substitution of Channel 224C1 for 
Channel 225A at Ocracoke, NC, and the modification of its construction 
permit for a new Class A station to specify operation on the higher 
class channel. See 59 FR 40401, July 28, 1993. The Commission found 
that the proposed site would not permit compliance with Section 73.315 
of the Commission's Rules regarding 70 dBu city-grade coverage. The 
Commission also denies the counterproposal filed by Lawrence F. and 
Margaret A. Loesch to substitute Channel 273C1 for Channel 273C2 at 
Edenton, NC, reallot Channel 273C1 to Columbia, NC, substitute Channel 
224A for unoccupied but applied-for Channel 272A at Pine Knoll Shores, 
NC, and modify Station WERX-FM's license to specify Columbia as its 
community of license. The Commission found that the proposed 
transmitter site is located in a swamp and no showing that a suitable 
transmitter site exists was provided. With this action, this proceeding 
is terminated.
