Radio Broadcasting Services; Latta, Marion, Camden and 
Blythewood, SC

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Winfas of Belhaven, Inc., 
substitutes Channel 232C3 for Channel 232A at Marion, South Carolina, 
and reallots Channel 232C3 from Marion to Latta South Carolina, as the 
community's first local aural transmission service, and modifies 
Station WCMG(FM)'s license accordingly. In order to accommodate the 
allotment at Latta, we substitute Channel 274A for Channel 232A at 
Camden, South Carolina, and modify Station WPUB-FM's license 
accordingly (RM-8188). See  58 FR 16518, March 29, 1993. We also 
dismiss the mutually exclusive counterproposal of Joseph Adams Ranke to 
allot Channel 232A at Blythewood, South Carolina, as the community's 
first local FM transmission service (RM-8243). See Supplementary 
Information, infra.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 14, 1995.
