FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 02-908; MB Docket No. 02-58; RM-10415)


Radio Broadcasting Services; Shafter, CA.

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document requests comment on a Petition for Rule Making 
filed on behalf of American Media General of Texas, Inc., licensee of 
Station KCOO, Channel 282A, Shafter, California, requesting the 
allotment of Channel 226A to Shafter, California, in order to permit it 
to modify its license to specify operation on Channel 226A. This is 
necessary because American Media General of Texas, Inc. is losing its 
transmitter site and has been unable to locate an available site that 
would accommodate operation on Channel 282A. The coordinates for the 
Channel 226A allotment at Shafter, California, would be 35-30-06 and 
119-16-18.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before June 10, 2002, and reply 
comments on or before June 25, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Secretary, Federal Communications Commission, Washington, 
DC, 20554. In addition to filing comments with the FCC, interested 
parties should serve the petitioner's counsel, as follows: Vincent J. 
Curtis, Jr., c/o Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth, 1300 North 17th Street,
