SUMMARY: The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by

substitution of Channel 273C1 for Channel 273C2 at Edenton, NC, the 
reallotment of Channel 273C1 to Columbia, NC, as the community's second 
local FM service, and the modification of Station WERX-FM's license to 
specify Columbia as the station's community of license. To accommodate 
the allotment at Columbia, petitioners also request the substitution of 
Channel 290A for unoccupied but applied for Channel 272A at Pine Knoll

restriction of 24.7 kilometers (15.3 miles) south-southeast at

Knoll Shores at the transmitter site specified in the pending WMBL,
