SUMMARY: The document denies the Petition for Rule Making filed by SSR 
Communications Incorporated proposing the allotment of Channel 237A at 
Florence, South Carolina, as that community's second FM commercial 
service. See 68 FR 8728, published February 25, 2003. The document 
grants the counterproposal filed by Miller Communications, Inc. 
requesting the allotment of Channel 237A at Quinby, South Carolina, as 
the community's first local service, and the minor change application 
for Station WIBZ, Channel 238A, Wedgefield, South Carolina, BPH-
20030331AAI. Channel 237A can be allotted to Quinby, South Carolina, 
consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the 
Commission's Rules, provided there is a site restriction 12.7 
kilometers (7.9 miles) southeast of the community. The reference 
coordinates for Channel 237A at Quinby are 34-10-23 North Latitude and 
79-37-11 West Longitude. The new coordinates for Station WIBZ, Channel 
238A, Wedgefield, South Carolina are 33-54-16 North Latitude and 80-19-
25 West Longitude. In addition, this document denies the 
counterproposal filed by Bulldog Broadcasting requesting the allotment 
of Channel 238C3 at Greeleyville, South Carolina, as its first local 
service, and proposing changes for Station WIBZ, Wedgefield, South 
Carolina and Station WIXV, Savannah, Georgia to accommodate the 
allotment at Greeleyville.

DATES: Effective April 26, 2004. A filing window for Channel 237A at 
Quinby, South Carolina will not be opened at this time. Instead, the 
issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by 
the Commission in a subsequent order.
