**REPORT AND ORDER**

**(Proceeding Terminated)**

**Adopted: July 26, 2006 Released: July 28, 2006**

By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:

1.  The Audio Division has before it a *Notice of Proposed Rule Making*
    issued at the request of Charles Crawford ("Petitioner"), proposing
    the allotment of Channel 275A at Savanna, Oklahoma, as the
    community's first local aural transmission service. Petitioner has
    stated that he will file an application to operate a FM station at
    Savanna if the requested channel is allotted. A later filed minor
    change application[^1] filed by JDC Radio, Inc., licensee of Station
    KQIB(FM), Channel 275C3, Idabel, Oklahoma, conflicts with the
    proposed Savanna allotment. This application has been treated as a
    counterproposal in this proceeding.[^2] Petitioner filed comments
    reiterating his interest in the allotment and pledging to file an
    application if the channel is allotted. No other comments or
    counterproposals were filed.

2.  In evaluating mutually exclusive allotment proposals, we compare the
    proposed arrangements of allotments using the FM allotment
    priorities set forth in *Revision of FM Assignment Policies and
    Procedures.*[^3] We will allot Channel 275A at Savanna because it
    would satisfy the third allotment priority, first local service, as
    compared to Station KQIB(FM)'s application, which proposes a
    modification of an existing station, which would satisfy the fourth
    allotment priority, other public interest matters.

3.  We will allot Channel 275A at Savanna, Oklahoma, as the community's
    first local aural transmission service. Savanna is an incorporated
    community with a 2000 U.S. Census population of 730 persons. Savanna
    has its own mayor, post office, volunteer fire department, city
    offices and a number of local churches.

4.  Channel 275A is allotted to Savanna in compliance with the
    Commission's rules provided there is a site restriction of 7.0
    kilometers (4.3 miles) south at coordinates 34-46-00 NL and 95-50-00
    WL.

5.  The Commission will send a copy of this *Report and Order* in a
    report to be sent to Congress and the Government Accountability
    Office Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, *see* 5 U.S.C.
    §801(a)(1)(A).

6.  Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in 47 U.S.C. §§
    4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g), and (r), and 307(b), and 47 C.F.R. §§0.61,
    0.204(b) and 0.283, IT IS ORDERED That effective September 11, 2006,
    the FM Table of Allotments, 47 C.F.R. § 73.202(b) IS AMENDED, with
    respect to the communities listed below, as follows:

> **[City]{.underline} [Channel No.]{.underline}**

Savanna, Oklahoma 275A

7.  In addition, a copy of this *Report and Order* will be sent to JDC
    Radio, Inc., as follows:

    JDC Radio, Inc. John C. Trent, Esq.

    P.O. Box 179 Putbrese, Hunsaker and Trent, PC

    Idabel, Oklahoma,74745 200 S. Church St.

    Woodstock, Virginia 22664

    (Counsel to JDC Radio, Inc.)

8.  A window period for filing applications for Channel 275A at Savanna,
    Oklahoma, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of
    opening this allotment for auction will be addressed by the
    Commission in a subsequent *Order*.

9.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the application in File No.
    BPH-20050509AAB for minor modification of facilities for Station
    KQIB(FM), Idabel, Oklahoma, IS DISMISSED.

10. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

11. For further information concerning a proceeding listed above,
    contact Victoria M. McCauley, Media Bureau (202) 418-2180.
