Summary
The Commission, at the request of Seven Ranges Radio Company, Inc., allots Channel 222A at New Martinsville, West Virginia, as the community's third local FM transmission service. We will also allow petitioner to amend its pending application (File No. BPH-960223MA) to reflect operation on Channel 222A in lieu of Channel 258A at New Martinsville, West Virginia. See 62 FR 26466, May 14, 1997. Channel 222A can be allotted to New Martinsville in
compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 7.4 kilometers (4.6 miles) south to avoid a short-spacing to the licensed site of Station WWHC(FM), Channel 222A, Oakland, Maryland. The coordinates for Channel 222A at New Martinsville are North Latitude 39-34-38 and West Longitude 80-51-16. Since New Martinsville is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, concurrence of the Canadian government has been obtained. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
