FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 03-2716, MM Docket No. 00-64, RM-9117]

Radio Broadcasting Services; Madison, Alabama and Tullahoma, TN

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; denial.

SUMMARY: This document denies a pending petition for rulemaking proposing the reallotment of Channel 227C1 from Tullahoma, Tennessee to Madison, Alabama, and the modification of the Station WUSX(FM) license accordingly. The Audio Division had requested comment on a petition filed by Tennessee Valley Radio, Inc. proposing the reallotment of Channel 227C1. See 65 FR 20,935, April 19, 2000. The petitioner subsequently amended its proposal in reply comments, asking that Channel 227C1 be removed from Tullahoma, Tennessee, and that Channel 227C2 be allotted at Madison, Alabama. In its reply comments, petitioner also revised the proposed reference coordinates for the new allotment at Madison, Alabama. The revised reference coordinates are 34-50-20 North Latitude and 86-30-53 West Longitude. This document denies the petition, based upon the conclusion that the proposed reallotment and change of community of license would not serve the public interest, and terminates the proceeding.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC 20554.
