FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73


Radio Broadcasting Services; Esperanza, PR, Christiansted, VI

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal of petition.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission denies the petition for reconsideration filed 
by Esperanza Broadcasters which requests the allotment of Channel 258B 
to Esperanza, Puerto Rico, as the community's first local aural 
broadcast service. To accommodate the allotment at Esperanza, 
petitioner also requests the substitution of Channel 293B for Channel 
258B at Christiansted, Virgin Islands, and the modification of Station 
WVIQ(FM)'s license accordingly. The Commission found that the petition 
was prematurely filed since it is contingent upon the outcome of the 
on-going proceeding in MM Docket 91-259 and that the petitioner failed 
to comply with the provisions of Section 1.401(d) which require that a 
copy of the petition be served on all affected licensees, in this case, 
the licensee of Station WVIQ(FM).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass Media Bureau,
