FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 93-142; RM-8208]

Television Broadcasting Services; Willits, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

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

SUMMARY: This document dismisses a petition filed on behalf of Granite 
Broadcasting Corporation and KNTV, Inc., owner and licensee, 
respectively of Station KNTV(TV), Channel 11, San Jose, California, 
seeking the deletion of vacant VHF television Channel 11 at Willits, 
California, to accommodate its preference to relocate the transmitter 
of Station KNTV(TV) to a seismologically safer site. See 58 FR 31686, 
June 4, 1993. An expression of interest in retaining vacant Channel 11 
at Willits, combined with the petitioner's inability to demonstrate a 
compelling showing that the public interest would be better served by 
its proposal, precludes deletion of the Willits allotment. With this 
action, the proceeding is terminated.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Joyner, Mass Media Bureau, (202)
