COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 98–49, RM–9248]

Radio Broadcasting Services; Las

Vegas, NM

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission requests

comments on a petition filed by BK

Radio proposing the allotment of

Channels 268A and 275A to Las Vegas,

NM, and the modification of its pending

application (BPH-960829MH) for

Channel 244A at Las Vegas to specify

the alternate channel without loss of its

cut-off protection. The Commission also

proposes that the pending application

(BPH–960829MG) of Meadows Media,

LLC, be amended to specify operation

on Channel 275A without loss of cut-off

protection. These allotments could

enable the initiation of additional

service at an earlier date by removing

the need for comparative consideration

of the three pending applications for

Channel 244A at Las Vegas. Should

another party express an interest in use

of a Class A channel at Las Vegas,

Channel 224A is available for allotment.

Channels 268A and 275A can be

allotted in compliance with the

Commission’s minimum distance

separation requirements, with a site

restriction of 3.9 kilometers (2.4 miles)

west of the Commission, at coordinates

35–36–16 NL; 105–15–35 WL, which is

the site proposed in the pending

applications of BK Radio and Meadows

Media. Channel 224A can be allotted to

Las Vegas without the imposition of a

site restriction, at coordinates 35–36–00

NL; 105–13–00 WL.

DATES: Comments must be filed on or

before June 1, 1998, and reply

comments on or before June 16, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications

Commission, Washington, DC 20554. In
