Radio Broadcasting Services; Martin, Tiptonville, and Trenton, TN

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; denial of petition.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission denies the petition for rule making filed by 
Thunderbolt Broadcasting Company proposing the substitution of Channel 
267C3 for Channel 269A at Martin, Tennessee. To accommodate the 
upgrade, petitioner also proposed the deletion of vacant Channel 267C3 
at Tiptonville, Tennessee (RM-8876). See 61 FR 53698, October 15, 1996. 
Additionally, we deny petitioner's alternative proposal seeking the 
substitution of Channel 267C3 for Channel 269A at Martin, Tennessee; 
the substitution of Channel 247A for Channel 267C3 at Tiptonville; and 
the substitution of Channel 249C3 for Channel 248C3 at Trenton, 
Tennessee (RM-9015). At the request of JoeMyers Productions, Inc., we 
dismiss its proposal to allot Channel 267A at Princeton, Kentucky. With 
this action, this proceeding is terminated.
