FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 96-125; RM-8807, RM-8861]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Albion and Hilton, NY

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Hilton Broadcasting, 
dismisses the request to allot Channel 238A to Hilton, NY, as the 
community's first local aural transmission service. See 61 FR 31084, 
June 19, 1996. At the request of Albion Broadcasting Associates, the 
Commission allots Channel 238A to Albion, NY, as the community's first 
local aural transmission service. Channel 238A can be allotted to 
Albion with a site restriction of 0.7 kilometers (0.4 miles) northeast, 
at coordinates 43-15-00 North Latitude and 78-11-12 West Longitude, to 
avoid a short-spacing to Station WJYE, Channel 241B, Buffalo, New York. 
This allotment has been concurred in by the Canadian Government as a 
specially negotiated short-spaced allotment since Albion is located 
within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. The 
Albion allotment is short-spaced to Stations CKDS-FM, Channel 237C1, 
Hamilton, Ontario, and CJBC1F and proposed CJBC-1, Channel 238C1, 
Belleville, Ontario, Canada. With this action, this proceeding is 
terminated.

DATES: Effective April 28, 1997. The window period for filing 
applications for Channel 238A at Albion, NY, will open on April 28, 
1997, and close on May 29, 1997.
