Radio Broadcasting Services; Brighton, VT

The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Linda A. Davidson seeking the allotment of Channel 270A to Brighton, VT, as the community's first local aural service. Channel 270A can be allotted to Brighton in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 9.8 kilometers (6.1 miles) northwest, at coordinates 44-51-50 NL; 71-57-26 WL, to avoid a short-spacing to Station WPOR-FM, Channel 270B, Portland, ME. Channel 270A at Brighton, at the reference coordinates, will still result in short-spacings to vacant Channel 270A, Victoriaville, Quebec, and vacant Channel 270A at Bedford, Quebec, Canada. Since Brighton is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, concurrence in the allotment, as a specially negotiated short-spaced allotment, must be received from the Canadian government.
