Radio Broadcasting Services; Shelton, WA

The Commission requests comments on a petition filed by Sound Broadcasting, Inc., proposing the allotment of Channel 233A at Shelton, Washington, as the community's first local FM transmission service. Channel 233A can be allotted to Shelton in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 6.6 kilometers (4.1 miles) northwest to avoid short- spacings to the licensed sites of Station KMPS-FM, Channel 231C, Seattle, Washington, and Station KUKN(FM), Channel 233A, Kelso, Washington. The coordinates for Channel 233A at Shelton are North Latitude 47-14-43 and West Longitude123-10-25. Recognizing that the allotment of Channel 233A would be short-spaced to the proposed allotment of Channel 233C at Vancouver, British Columbia, we have determined that no potential interference would result from this allotment. Therefore, since the community is located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, concurrence of the Canadian government has been requested for the allotment of Channel 233A at Shelton, Washington, as a specially-negotiated allotment.
