Radio Broadcasting Services; Cobleskill and Saint Johnsville, NY

The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc., seeking the reallotment of Channel 278B from Cobleskill to Saint Johnsville, NY, as the community's first local aural service, and the modification of Station WQBJ(FM)'s license to specify Saint Johnsville as its community of license. Channel 278B can be allotted to Saint Johnsville in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 15.9 kilometers (9.9 miles) east, at coordinates 42-58-21 NL; 74-29-30 WL, to accommodate petitioner's desired transmitter site which is the present site of Station WQBJ. Saint Johnsville is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. However, prior concurrence by the Canadian Government is not required since no change in Station WQBJ's transmitter site is proposed.
