    Weaverville is located within the prohibited co-channel minimum 
distance separation of 280.8 kilometers (174.5 miles) to the

markets affected by the Commission's current freeze on allotments and 
applications pending the outcome of an inquiry into the use of advanced 
television systems in broadcasting. (See Order, Advanced Television 
Systems and Their Impact on Existing Television Broadcasting Service,
