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

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

transmitter site. Channel 285A can be allotted to Nowata at Station 
KRIG's presently licensed site, at coordinates 36-44-35; 95-45-17. 
Channel 280A can be allotted to Pawhuska, OK, with a site restriction
