FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73
[MM Docket No. 95-137; RM-8683]
Radio Broadcasting Services; Milton, WV and Flemingsburg, KY
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Simmons Broadcasting
Company, substitutes Channel 292B1 for Channel 292A at Milton, West
Virginia, and modifies Station WFXN(FM)'s license accordingly. To
accommodate the upgrade, we also substitute Channel 236A for Channel
292A at Flemingsburg, Kentucky, and modify Station WFLE-FM's license
accordingly. See 60 FR 45391, August 31, 1995. Additionally, we dismiss
the invalid counterproposals filed jointly by Kentucky River
Broadcasting Company, WMOR, Inc., and James P Gray, since there is no
mutual exclusivity between the petitioner's upgrade request at Milton,
West Virginia, and the counterproponents' upgrade requests for
Morehead-Carlisle-Irvine, Kentucky. Channel 292B1 can be allotted to
Milton, West Virginia, in compliance with the Commission's minimum
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 0.7
kilometers (0.5 miles) southeast to avoid a short-spacing to the
licensed site of Station WWJM(FM), Channel 292A, New Lexington, Ohio.
The coordinates for Channel 292B1 at Milton are North Latitude 38-29-02
and West Longitude 82-12-59. See Supplementary Information, infra.
EFFECTIVE DATE: July 19, 1996.
