FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 96-80; RM-8758, RM-8833]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Alva, Bartlesville and Ponca City, 
OK, and Deerfield, MO

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; order to show cause.

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

SUMMARY: This document directs Mur-Thom Broadcasting, Inc., Ponca City, 
Oklahoma, to show cause why its license for Station KIXR should not be 
modified to specify operation on Channel 284A in lieu of Channel 261A. 
This action would allow Station KYFM, Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to 
upgrade its facility from Channel 260C3 to Channel 261C1. KYFM Radio, 
Inc., licensee of Station KYFM, Bartlesville, Oklahoma, filed a 
counterproposal in this proceeding requesting the substitution at Ponca 
City to accommodate its upgrade at Bartlesville. This Order does not 
afford additional opportunity either to comment on the merits of the 
conflicting proposal or for the acceptance of additional 
counterproposals because an opportunity has already been provided for 
the filing of such proposals.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before November 4, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen Scheuerle, Mass Media Bureau, 
(202) 418-2180.
