FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 01-1242, MM Docket No. 99-347, RM-9751; RM-9761]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Exmore and Cheriton, VA, Fruitland, 
MD

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the Commission grants the request of Be-More 
Broadcasting (``Be-More'') to withdraw its petition for rule making to 
substitute Channel 291B for Channel 291B1 at Exmore, VA, reallot 
Channel 291B to Cheriton, VA, as its first local aural service, and 
modify its construction permit to specify Cheriton as its community of 
license. The Commission grants the request of Great Scott Broadcasting 
(``Great Scott''), licensee of Station WKHI(FM) (``WKHI''), to 
substitute Channel 298B1 for Channel 298B at Exmore, VA, reallot 
Channel 298B1 to Fruitland, MD, as its first local aural transmission 
service, and modify Station WKHI's license accordingly. The Notice of 
Proposed Rule Making, in this proceeding, 64 FR 70670 (December 17, 
1999), included both Be-More's proposal and Great Scott's proposal 
because grant of both proposals would have resulted in Exmore, 
Virginia, losing its only local aural transmission service. The 
Commission conditioned the grant of program test authority for Great 
Scott's future facilities in Fruitland on Be-More's receipt of a 
license for its new FM station at Exmore, Virginia. The coordinates for 
Station WKHI's new location in Fruitland, Maryland, are: 38-11-32 North 
Latitude and 75-41-58 West Longitude.

DATES: Effective July 2, 2001.
