AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; denial of petition for reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: This document denies a Petition for Reconsideration and Joint 
Request for Approval of Option Agreement filed by STG Media, LLC and 
Pulaski Broadcasting, Inc. directed to the Report and Order in this 
proceeding which allotted Channel 278A to New Hope, Alabama. In doing 
so, it denied a proposed substitution of Channel 252C1 for Channel 252A 
at Pulaski, Tennessee, reallotment of Channel 252C1 to Ardmore, 
Alabama, and modification the license of Station WKSR to specify 
operation on Channel 252C1 at Ardmore. See 67 FR 59213, September 20, 
2002. STG Media was the proponent for the Channel 278A allotment at New 
Hope, and Pulaski Broadcasting is the licensee of Station WKSR, 
Pulaski, Tennessee. In the Petition for Reconsideration, STG Media 
withdraws its interest in the Channel 278A allotment at New Hope, 
contingent upon approval of the Option Agreement by which STG Media 
would acquire Station WKSR and that Station WKSR be licensed as a Class 
C1 facility licensed to Ardmore. In denying the Petition for 
Reconsideration, the Commission determined that the Option Agreement 
was inconsistent with Section 1.420(j) of the Rules. With this action, 
the proceeding is terminated.
