FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 91-283; RM-7807, RM-8772]


Radio Broadcasting Services; George West, and Corpus Christi, TX

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of G & W Radio, allots Channel 
228C3 to George West, Texas, as the community's second local FM 
service. See 56 FR 50843, October 9, 1991. The Commission also denies a 
counterproposal (RM-8772) filed by Reina Broadcasting, Inc. requesting 
the substitution of Channel 234C2 for Channel 234C3 at Corpus Christi, 
Texas, since Reina failed to provide the express agreement of Four M.L. 
Broadcasting (applicant for Channel 281A at George West) to upgrade and 
open a new filing window for Channel 281C3 at George West. Channel 
228C3 can be allotted to George West in compliance with the 
Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site 
restriction of 12.0 kilometers (7.5 miles) southwest to avoid a short-
spacing to vacant Channel 281A, George West, Texas. The coordinates for 
Channel 228C3 are 28-15-46 and 98-12-24. Mexican concurrence for this 
allotment has been received since George West is located within 320 
kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border.
    With this action, this proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 2, 1998. The filing for Channel 228C3 at George 
West, Texas, 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.
