SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rule making 

[[Page 4393]]
filed on behalf of Bragg Broadcasting Corporation, licensee of Station 
KSAR(FM), Channel 240A, Salem, Arkansas, and KFCM, Inc., licensee of 
Station KFCM(FM), Channel 265A, Cherokee Village, Arkansas, proposing 
the substitution of Channel 265A for Channel 240A at Salem and 
modification of the license for Station KSAR(FM) accordingly. To 
accommodate the Salem modification, petitioner requests the 
substitution of Channel 252A for Channel 265A at Cherokee Village and 
concomitant modification of the license for its co-owned Station 
KFCM(FM). Coordinates for Channel 265A at Salem, AR, are 36-25-00 and 
91-48-00; coordinates for Channel 252A at Cherokee Village, AR, are 36-
16-29 and 91-30-18. As the petitioner's modification proposals seek 
equivalent channel substitutions, we will not accept competing 
expressions of interest for the use of Channel 265A at Salem, Arkansas, 
or for Channel 252A at Cherokee Village, Arkansas.
