FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 95-46; RM-8594]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Edenton, Columbia and Pine Knoll 
Shores, NC

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Lawrence F. and Margaret A. 
Loesch, substitutes Channel 273C1 for Channel 273C2 at Edenton, NC, 
reallots Channel 273C1 from Edenton to Columbia, NC, and modifies the 
license of Station WERX-FM to specify operation on the higher class 
channel and Columbia as its community of license. See 60 FR 19878, 
April 21, 1995. The proposal to substitute Channel 290A for vacant but 
applied-for Channel 272A at Pine Knoll Shores, NC, is moot since the 
Commission deleted the channel, without replacement, and dismissed the 
sole application for the channel. See 10 FCC Rcd 13159 (1995). Channel 
273C1 can be allotted to Columbia in compliance with the Commission's 
minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 
24.7 kilometers (15.3 miles) south-southeast, at coordinates 35-42-48 
NL; 76-08-34 WL, to avoid short-spacings to Stations WOLC, Channel 
273B, Princess, MD, and WHLQ, Channel 273A, Louisburg, NC. With this 
action, this proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 12, 1996.
