FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 97-233; RM-9162]

Radio Broadcasting Services; East Brewton, AL and Navarre, FL

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In response to the Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding, 62 FR 63690 (December 2, 1997), this document denies the request of 550-AM, the permittee of Station WGCX(FM), Channel 239A at East Brewton, Alabama, to substitute Channel 239C3 for Channel 239A at East Brewton, and reallot Channel 239C3 to Navarre, Florida. The present allotment to East Brewton is viewed as being superior to the reallotment proposal for Navarre. The population of East Brewton is larger than that of Navarre. The East Brewton allotment would provide a fifth reception service to over 7,000 persons, whereas Navarre is already adequately served with seven reception services. This document terminates the proceeding.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 24, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: R. Barthen Gorman, Mass Media Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
