FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 00-1472; MM Docket No. 99-314; RM-9754]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Metropolis IL and Paducah, KY

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; denial.

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

SUMMARY: Sun Media, Inc. requested the reallotment of Channel 252C1 
from Metropolis, Illinois to Paducah, Kentucky, and the modification of 
Station WRIK-FM's construction permit accordingly. See 64 FR 59728, 
November 3, 1999. The petitioner's rule making proposal was denied 
because the difference in population between the two communities did 
not justify removing the third local transmission service from the 
smaller community of Metropolis to provide the larger community of 
Paducah with its sixth local transmission service.
