Radio Broadcasting Services; Esperanza, PR, Christiansted, VI

The Commission denies the petition for reconsideration filed by Esperanza Broadcasters which requests the allotment of Channel 258B to Esperanza, Puerto Rico, as the community's first local aural broadcast service. To accommodate the allotment at Esperanza, petitioner also requests the substitution of Channel 293B for Channel 258B at Christiansted, Virgin Islands, and the modification of Station WVIQ(FM)'s license accordingly. The Commission found that the petition was prematurely filed since it is contingent upon the outcome of the on-going proceeding in MM Docket 91-259 and that the petitioner failed to comply with the provisions of Section 1.401(d) which require that a copy of the petition be served on all affected licensees, in this case, the licensee of Station WVIQ(FM).
