AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

SUMMARY: This document requests comments on a petition for rulemaking 
filed by Heritage Communications, Inc. requesting the reallotment of 
Channel 236C0 from Glasgow, Kentucky, to Bowling Green, Kentucky, and 
modification of the license for Station WGGC to reflect the changes. 
Channel 236C0 can be allotted to Bowling Green at coordinates 36-54-43

operation on Channel 236C0 in lieu of Channel 236C at Glasgow, 
Kentucky. See BMLH-19990728KA. The proposal complies with the 
provisions of Section 1.420(i) of the Commission's Rules, and 
therefore, the Commission will not accept competing expressions of 
interest in the use of Channel 236C0 at Bowling Green.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or before April 19, 2004, and reply 
comments on or before May 4, 2004.
