The short-spacings between Station WCEN-FM and WCSX(FM), Birmingham and Station WKLQ(FM), Holland, are grandfathered as the stations were authorized prior to 1964. With respect to Station WBYB(FM), Leland, Wilks states that the Commission authorized Station WBYB(FM) to operate at a site short-spaced to Station WCEN-FM pursuant to Section 73.215 of its Rules. Wilks contends that since its proposed reallotment does not involve the relocation of Station WCEN-FM's transmitter, no new short-spacings will be created or existing short-spacings increased. Wilks believes that its proposal is acceptable for reallotment under the Commission's policy where no transmitter site or other technical change is being proposed and the stations involved are pre-1964 short-spaced

Channel 223C can be allotted at Cumulus's existing site 37.7 kilometers (23.4 miles) north of the community. We also note that this site is short spaced due to Station WMYB(FM)'s (Channel 221C2, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina), use of Section 73.215 processing toward Station WHLZ. Cumulus states that since this cases involves no change of transmitter site and no increase of short spacing, the ruling in Report and Order in MM Docket No. 98-176 (Killeen and Cedar Park, Texas) allowing such a change of community should apply. We seek comment on this issue. FCC Contact: Victoria McCauley (202) 418-2180 E. MM

  • Killeen and Cedar Park, Texas (``Kileen''), 15 FCC Rcd 1945 (2000), we allowed Station KLNC(FM) to change its community of license from Killeen, Texas, to Cedar Park, Texas. No technical changes were proposed for the station in question. Station KLNC was short-spaced to a pre-1964 grandfathered station as well as three other stations that had been granted pursuant to Section 73.215 of the Commission's Rules. Station KLNC did not create the short-spacing to the three stations authorized to operate on a short-spaced basis to KLNC under Section 73.215. Those three stations are providing contour protection to Station KLNC as if it were a fully-spaced station. In these circumstances, we decided that where no transmitter site change or other technical changes were

Both Stations WEYE-FM and WBBQ-FM (licensee is a party herein) have consented to change their transmitter sites. The Commission allows a station to change its community of license despite the presence of ``grandfathered'' short-spacings and those permitted under Section 73.215 of the Commission's Rules. See Newnan and Peachtree City, Georgia, 7 FCC Rcd 6307 (1992) (``grandfathered'' short-spacing); and Killeen and Cedar Park, Texas, 13 FCC Rcd 18790 (1998) (Section 73.215 short-spacing).

In this regard, petitioner's technical engineering statement advises that the currently authorized site of Station KRYD was originally authorized pursuant to � 73.215 of the Rules. Further, petitioner reports that due to terrain conditions in that area of Colorado, locating the reference site in the community of Norwood would not allow for the maximization of service of a theoretical C1 facility due to the requirement for an extremly tall tower.

The short-spacings between Station WCEN-FM and WCSX(FM), Birmingham and Station WKLQ(FM), Holland, are grandfathered as the stations were authorized prior to 1964. With respect to Station WBYB(FM), Leland, the Commission authorized Station WBYB(FM) to operate at a site short-spaced to Station WCEN-FM pursuant to Section 73.215 of its Rules. Station WCEN-FM will continue to operate at its existing transmitter site. Therefore, there will be no new short-spacings created or existing short-spacings increased.

No other comments were received. 2. In support of its proposal, petitioner states that Station KVMI(FM) is short-spaced by 1.37 kilometers to co-channel Station KQZZ(FM), Channel 244C2, Devils Lake, North Dakota, a Section 73.215 short-spaced allotment. Petitioner further states that Station KQZZ(FM), as well as two other stations, consistently cause interference with Station KVMI(FM)'s normally protected 60 dBu contour. This interference apparently is caused by a terrain anomaly beyond the normal 3-to-16 kilometer range employed by the Commission in calculating contour distances. Petitioner seeks relief to alleviate interference from these adjacent stations. 3. We

While the Gatesville, Texas facility has protected Station KBOC, Channel 252A, Bridgeport, under Section 73.215 of the Rules, the separation between proposed Channel 252C, Bridgeport, and the Gatesville facility does not meet the allotment spacing requirements. Although North Texas states that Gatesville needs to be protected only in accordance with the contour requirements specified in Section 73.215 of the Commission's Rules instead of the minimum mileage separation requirements specified in Section 73.207 of the Rules,

Newnan and Peachtree City involved a station authorized under earlier separation requirements and Killeen and Cedar Park involved transmitter site relocations by other stations pursuant to Section 73.215 of the Rules. In both of these situations, the rulemaking proponent complied with applicable separation requirements at the time of its authorization and did not seek any site change in transmitter site in order to effectuate a change in community of license.

Adoption of the proposal also would result in a substantial net gain in persons served by Station KKSY(FM). Finally, the proposed change of community would eliminate an existing short-spacing. Station KKSY(FM) is a short-spaced station pursuant to Section 73.215 of the Commission's rules. Petitioner's proposed transmitter site for Channel 296C3 at Greenbrier would be fully-spaced. 6.

These short-spacings have been in existence since 1964, and Channel 230C at Burlington is grandfathered pursuant to Section 73.215 of the Commission's rules. Because the proposed change of community would involve no facilities change, no additional short-spacing would be created, nor would any existing short-spacing be exacerbated.

Heritage states that Station WGGC is currently short-spaced to Station WRTT, Huntsville, Alabama, which is licensed as a Section 73.215 facility and since the short spacing is not created by Station WGGC, the Commission will permit the change of community of license.

But the Commission's statement about predicted interference from second-adjacent channel LPFM stations is consistent with its conclusion in 2000. Then the Commission concluded, upon considering technical studies submitted by a number of commenters including the NAB, that the risk of interference from

  • Petition for Reconsideration on June 30, 2008, seeking reinstatement of its application. The staff, on August 6, 2008, determined that Smile's amendment of its directional antenna pattern was sufficient to correct the Section 73.510(a) error and, therefore, granted reconsideration and reinstated the application. Further examination of the application that same day, however, revealed another defect - a violation of Section 73.215(e) concerning minimum distance separation required to a short-spaced antenna location. Accordingly, the staff dismissed Smile's application a second time. On September 10, 2008, Smile filed another amendment and petition for reconsideration, attempting to correct the spacing defect. The staff dismissed these filings on October 3, 2008, because applicants are permitted only one amendment to correct any and all acceptability defects.

That section states that interference will be shown by demonstrating contour overlap based upon the interference ratios of 47 C.F.R. � 73.215. However, � 73.215 does not apply to IF frequency channel stations. Accordingly, we are amending � 73.809 to state that IF frequency channel interference will be determined via overlap of the 91 dBu F(50,50) (36 mV/m) contours. This contour was utilized to calculate the LPFM IF frequency channel spacing requirements. 64 See In the Matter of 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review

  • upgrade applications, which allow an applicant to modify the FM Table of Allotments and its station authorization through a single application. These applications ``must meet either the minimum spacing requirements of Section 73.207 at the site specified in the application, without resort to the provisions of the Commission's Rules permitting short spaced stations as set forth in Sections 73.213 through 73.215 or demonstrate by a separate exhibit attached to the application the existence of a suitable allotment site that fully complies with Sections 73.207 and 73.315 without resort to Sections 73.213 through 73.215.'' The rationale for this approach at the rulemaking or application stage is that: The Commission has a strong interest in preserving the integrity of the Table of Allotments

  • permit application, and dismiss without prejudice RSM's license application and PTA request. 2. Background. RSM was granted a construction permit on March 23, 1999, to build new station KBNH(FM) at Homedale, Idaho. On February 29, 2000, RSM filed the captioned modification application to change its transmitter site (the ``Application''), requesting a waiver of the prohibited contour overlap requirements of Section 73.215(a) and the minimum separation requirements of Section 73.215(e) of the Commission's rules. The Application was unopposed, and on March 30, 2001, the staff waived Sections 73.215 (a) and (e) and granted the Application. On May 4, 2001, Citicasters filed its Petition. 3. Procedural Matters. As indicated above, Citicasters did not oppose the Application. Consequently, Citicasters now requests standing under the

In February of 2006, GBI filed a modification application (the ``2006 Application'') to relocate the WNOW-FM transmitter site and reduce the Station's facilities to Class C0 status; the facility proposed in that application also would be short-spaced to WDCG(FM), Durham, North Carolina, but GBI proposed processing under the contour protection standards for short-spaced stations contained in Section 73.215 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''). The staff granted that unopposed application on May 3, 2006. Subsequently, GBI filed the Application, proposing to relocate WNOW-FM from Gaffney, South Carolina (where it is one of four stations licensed to Gaffney) to Bessemer City, North Carolina, as that community's first local broadcast service. Initially, the Application proposed no changes to WNOW-FM's technical
