Radio Broadcasting Services; Johnson City and Owego, NY

The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by WEBO Radio, Inc., seeking the reallotment of Channel 269A from Owego to Johnson City, NY, as the community's first local aural service, and the modification of Station WLTB's license to specify Johnson City as its community of license. Channel 269A can be allotted to Johnson City in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 6.4 kilometers (4.0 miles) south, at coordinates 42-03-44 NL; 75-56-37 WL, to avoid a short- spacing to Station WXHC, Channel 268A, Homer, NY, and to accommodate petitioner's desired transmitter site. Canadian concurrence in the allotment is required since Johnson City is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border.
