Radio Broadcasting Services; Driscoll, Gregory and Robstown, TX
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Cotton
Broadcasting, seeking the substitution of Channel 283C3 for Channel
286A at Robstown, Texas, the reallotment of Channel 283C3 from Robstown
to Driscoll, Texas, and the modification of Station KMIQ-FM's license
to specify Driscoll as the station's community of license. In order to
accommodate the allotment of Channel 283C3 to Driscoll, we also propose
the deletion of vacant Channel 283A at Gregory, Texas. Channel 283C3
can be allotted to Driscoll in compliance with the Commission's minimum
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 10.8
kilometers (6.7 miles) south. The coordinates for Channel 283C3 at
Driscoll are 27-34-45 and 97-43-48. In accordance with Section 1.420(i)
of the Commission's Rules, we will not accept competing expressions of
interest in use of Channel 283C3 at Driscoll or require the petitioner
to demonstrate the availability of an additional equivalent class
channel for use by such parties.
