FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 98-8; RM-9178]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Albion, Honeoye Falls, South Bristol 
Township, NY

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the request of Citicasters Company, 
reallots Channel 297A from Honeoye Falls, NY, to South Bristol 
Township, NY, modifies the license of Station WMAX-FM accordingly, 
reallots Channel 236B from South Bristol Township to Honeoye Falls, 
modifies the license of Station WNVE accordingly, and substitutes 
Channel 271A for vacant but applied-for Channel 238A at Albion, NY. See 
63 FR 6698, February 10, 1998. Channel 236B can be allotted to Honeoye 
Falls in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation 
requirements with respect to domestic allotments, with a site 
restriction of 16.5 kilometers (10.3 miles) northeast, at coordinates 
43-02-00; 77-25-17, to accommodate petitioner's desired transmitter 
site. This site is short-spaced to Stations CKQT-FM, Channel 235B, 
Oshawa, Ontario, and CKDS-FM, Channel 237C1, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. 
Channel 297A can be allotted to South Bristol Township in compliance 
with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a 
site restriction of 2.9 kilometers (1.8 miles) northwest, at 
coordinates 42-44-47; 77-25-35, to accommodate petitioner's desired 
transmitter site. Channel 271A can be allotted to Albion in compliance 
with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements, with 
respect to domestic allotments, without the imposition of a site 
restriction, at coordinates 43-14-48; 78-11-36. This allotment is 
short-spaced to Station CFNY-FM, Channel 271C1, Brampton, Ontario, 
Canada, and to the vacant Channel 272B at Belleville, Canada. Canadian 
concurrence in these allotments has been received since each of the 
communities are located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-
Canadian border. The allotments at Honeoye Falls and Albion have been 
concurred in as specially negotiated short-spaced allotments. With this 
action, this proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 28, 1998.
