SUMMARY: In response to a petition filed by Sunburst Media, LP 
proposing the reallotment of Channel 241C2 from Madisonville, Texas, to 
College Station, Texas, and modification of the license for Station 
KAAG accordingly, the Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rule 
Making. See 64 FR 68662, December 8, 1999. The proposal for 
Madisonville and College Station has been withdrawn. Two 
counterproposals were filed in response to the Notice. The 
counterproposal filed by Garwood Broadcasting Company of Texas which 
involved the communities of Bay City, Columbus, Edna, Garwood, Palacios 
and Sheridan, Texas, has been denied. In response to a counterproposal 
filed by Giddings Community Broadcasting Company we shall allot Channel

Texas, with a site restriction 12.1 kilometers (7.5 miles) north of the 
community at coordinates 30-10-54 and 96-56-12. The issue of opening a
