**ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE**

**Adopted: October 8, 2003 Released: October 10, 2003**

**Comment Date: November 24, 2003**

By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division:

1\. The Audio Division has before it a counterproposal filed by
Mayflower-Crawford Broadcasters (*"MCB")* requesting the allotment of
Channel 272C2 to Crawford, Colorado, as its first local aural
transmission service. This counterproposal was timely filed following
the release of the *Notice of Proposed Rule Making* (*"Notice")* in this
proceeding.[^2] In order to accommodate the allotment at Crawford, MCB
requests the substitution of Channel 299A for Channel 272A at Station
KVLE-FM, Gunnison, Colorado. Additionally, MCB requests a change in
reference coordinates for vacant Channel 270C2 at Olathe, Colorado to
accommodate the allotment of Channel 272C2 at Crawford, Colorado.[^3]
For the reasons discussed below, we are issuing this *Order to Show
Cause* directed to Pilgrim Communications, Inc. (*"Pilgrim
Communications"*), the licensee of Station KVLE-FM.

2\. In order to proceed with our analysis, we must first issue this
*Order to Show Cause* directed to Pilgrim Communications to show cause
why its Station KVLE-FM license should not be modified to specify
operation on Channel 299A in lieu of Channel 272A at Gunnison, Colorado.
Section 316(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, permits us
to modify the license or construction permit if such action is in the
public interest. Section 316(a) requires that we notify the affected
station of the proposed action, the public interest reasons for the
action, and afford at least 30 days to respond. This procedure is now
set forth in Section 1.87 of the Commission's Rules.[^4] The
substitution of Channel 299A for Channel 272A at Gunnison, Colorado,
would accommodate the allotment of Channel 272C2 at Crawford, Colorado.
We consider this allotment at Crawford to have sufficient public
interest benefits to justify the issuance of a show cause order since it
could provide that community with its first local aural transmission
service.

3\. Station KVLE-FM license at Gunnison, Colorado can be modified to
specify operation on Channel 299A at its current authorized transmitter
site (BLH-19800425AB).[^5] MCB has agreed to reimburse Pilgrim
Communications for the reasonable costs incurred in connection with the
proposed change of Station KVLE-FM channel.

4\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That pursuant to Section 316(a) of the
Communication Act of 1934, as amended, Pilgrim Communications, licensee
of Station KVLE-FM, Gunnison, Colorado, SHALL SHOW CAUSE why its license
should not be modified to specify operation on Channel 299A in lieu of
Channel 272A.

5\. Pursuant to Section 1.87 of the Communications Rules, Pilgrim
Communications may, no later than November 24, 2003, file a written
statement showing with particularity why its construction permit should
not be modified as proposed in this *Order* *to Show Cause*. The
Commission may call upon the licensee to furnish additional information.
If the licensee raises any substantial and material questions of fact, a
hearing may be required to resolve such questions of fact pursuant to
Section 1.87 of the Rules. Upon review of the statements and/or
additional information furnished, the Commission may grant the
modification, deny the modification, or set the matter of modification
for hearing. If no written statement is filed by the date referred to
above, the licensee will be deemed to have consented to a modification
as proposed in this *Order to Show Cause* and a final Order will be
issued if the modification is found to be in the public interest.

6\. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that a copy of this *Order to Show Cause*
shall be sent BY CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, to the
following:

Pilgrim Communications, Inc.

54 Monument Circle

Indianapolis, IN 46204

\[Licensee of Station KVLE-FM\]

F. Smith, Media Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
