Radio Broadcasting Services; Middlebury and Berlin, VT

The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Dynamite Radio, Inc. seeking the substitution of Channel 265C2 for Channel 265A; the reallotment of Channel 265C2 from Middlebury to Berlin, VT; and the modification of Station WGTK's license to specify Berlin as its community of license. Channel 265C2 can be allotted to Berlin in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 11.1 kilometers (6.9 miles) north of the community. The site restriction imposed on Channel 265C2 at Berlin does not obviate the short-spacings to Station CBF-FM, Channel 265C1, Montreal, Quebec, and to Station CBF10F, Channel 266B, Sherbrook, Quebec, Canada. Therefore, we have sought Canadian concurrence in the allotment of Channel 265C2 at Berlin as a specially negotiated short-spaced limited allotment since Berlin is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. In accordance with the provisions of Section 1.420(i) of the Commission's Rules, we will not accept competing expressions of interest in the use of Channel 265C2 at Berlin, VT.
