FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 02-2514, MM Docket No. 01-11, RM-10027, and RM-10322]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Arcadia, Desert Hot Springs, 
Fallbrook, Murrieta, and Yucca Valley, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document allots Channel 281A to Murrieta, California, as 
a first local aural service in response to a rulemaking petition filed 
by Helen Jones. See 66 FR 8559, February 1, 2001. The coordinates for 
Channel 281A at Murrieta are 33-32-55 and 117-09-26. The document also 
denies a counterproposal filed by Big City Radio-LA, L.L.C., to upgrade 
Station KLYY(FM), Arcadia, California, from Channel 296A to Channel 
296B1. To accommodate the upgrade, the counterproposal also proposed to 
substitute 281A for Channel 296A for Station KSYY(FM), Fallbrook 
California, and to downgrade, reallot, and change the community of 
license of Station KYOR(FM), Channel 295B, Yucca Valley, California, to 
Channel 295B1 at Desert Hot Springs, California. The staff reasoned 
that the counterproposal could not be granted because the Commission's 
policies and rules do not permit pre-1964 grandfathered, short-spaced 
stations such as KLYY(FM) to upgrade channel class with short-spacings 
to stations on second or third adjacent FM channels.

DATES: Effective November 25, 2002.
