FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 96-170; RM-8844, RM-9057]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Franklin and White Castle, LA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Annette G. Thompson, allots 
Channel 295C3 to Franklin, Louisiana, as the community's second local 
FM service. See 61 FR 44288, August 28, 1996. Channel 295C3 can be 
allotted in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance 
separation requirements without the imposition of a site restriction. 
The coordinates for Channel 295C3 at Franklin are 29-47-42 NL and 91-
30-12 WL. We also dismiss the counterproposal filed by White Castle 
Broadcasting (RM-9057) requesting the allotment of Channel 295A to 
White Castle, Louisiana. White Castle Broadcasting's counterproposal is 
not consistent with the Commission's procedural requirements. With this 
action, this proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 20, 1998. A filing window for Channel 295C3 at 
Franklin, Louisiana, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the 
issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by 
the Commission in a subsequent order.
