Radio Broadcasting Services; Canton and Saranac Lake, NY

The Commission requests comments on two petitions concerning Saranac Lake, NY. Radio Vermont Classics, Inc., requests the substitution of Channel 227A for unoccupied and unapplied-for Channel 269A at Saranac Lake, NY, so as to remove the 1 kilometer short-spacing with its outstanding construction permit (BPH-980806IA). Radio Power, Inc. requests the substitution of Channel 268C2 for Channel 268A at Canton, NY, and the modification of Station WRCD's license to specify operation on the higher powered channel. Radio Power also requests the substitution of Channel 227A for Channel 269A at Saranac Lake to accommodate the Canton upgrade. Channel 227A can be allotted to Saranac Lake without the imposition of a site restriction, at coordinates 44- 19-48 North Latitude and 74-08-00 West Longitude. Channel 268C2 can be allotted to Canton with a site restriction of 31.8 kilometers (19.8 miles) east, at coordinates 44-35-56 NL; 74-46-24 WL. Both Canton and Saranac Lake are located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.- Canadian border and require concurrence by the Canadian government as specially negotiated short-spaced allotments.
