In this document, the Media Bureau (Bureau) dismisses as moot the Application for Review filed jointly by KZLZ, LLC (KZLZ) and Lakeshore Media, LLC, the current and former licensee, respectively, of Station KWCX-FM. While the AFR was pending, KZLZ filed a minor modification application to change the community of license of Station KWCX-FM from Willcox to Tanque Verde, Arizona. Once the requested facility modification to Station KWCX-FM was granted, the assignment at Willcox was deleted, and this in turn rendered moot any Section 307(b) comparison between Davis-Monthan AFB and the deleted Willcox assignment.
