FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 97-204; RM-9143; RM-9158]


Radio Broadcasting Services; McFarland and Coalinga, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document allots FM Channel 247A to McFarland, California, 
as that community's second local FM transmission service in response to 
a petition filed on behalf of Kerner Broadcasting Company (RM-9143). 
Additionally, FM Channel 247A is allotted to Coalinga, California, as 
that community's second local commercial FM transmission service in 
response to a petition filed on behalf of James K. Zahn (RM-9158). 
Although the proposals were mutually-exclusive initially, the placement 
of a site restriction on the Coalinga request enables Channel 247A to 
be allotted to each community consistent with the technical 
requirements of the Commission's Rules. Coordinates used for Channel 
247A at McFarland, California, are 35-40-16 and 119-20-30. Coordinates 
used for Channel 247A at Coalinga, California, are 36-12-37 and 120-25-
35. With this action, the proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 15, 1998. A filing window for Channel 247A at 
McFarland, Califorina, and for Channel 247A at Coalinga, California, 
will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing 
window for that channel will be addressed by the Commission in a 
subsequent Order.
