Petitioner states that Newport Village has all the attributes of a community.
Newport Village, with a 1995 U.S. Census population of 676 persons, is an incorporated community within Herkimer County. In addition, Newport Village collects a separate village tax and school taxes. It contends that the public interest would be served by reallotting Channel 259A to Newport Village since it could provide the community with its first local aural service. Petitioner submits that, as an unbuilt station, there is no service which the residents of Old Forge have come to rely on. Further, it submits that the reallotment of Channel 259A will not deprive Old Forge of its sole local potential aural service because the community has a second FM channel allotted to it for which an application is pending.
