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

SUMMARY: In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 69 FR 9790 
(March 2, 2004) this Report and Order denies a request by CWA 
Broadcasting, Inc., the licensee of Station WINX-FM, St. Michaels, 
Maryland, to upgrade its present Channel 232A to Channel 232B1, reallot 
Channel 232B1 to Cambridge, Maryland, and modify Station WINX-FM's 
license accordingly. The Report and Order allots Channel 235A to 
Newark, Maryland, thus providing that community with a first local 
aural transmission service. The reference coordinates for Channel 235A 
at Newark, Maryland are 38-12-20 NL and 75-17-15 WL, with a site 
restriction of 5.0 kilometers (3.1 miles) south of Newark. The Report 
and Order denies the counterproposal of Route 12 Community Broadcasters 
to allot Channel 232A to Stockton, Maryland, and allots Channel 233A to 
Chincoteague, Virginia, which would provide Chincoteague with a second 
local aural transmission service. The reference coordinates for Channel 
233A at Chincoteague are 37-56-00 NL and 75-22-36 WL.

DATES: Effective January 17, 2006.
