Radio Broadcasting Services; Lordsburg and Hurley, NM

Riepilogo

The Commission, at the request of BBC Radio, substitutes Channel 288C1 for Channel 289C3 at Lordsburg, NM, reallots Channel 288C1 from Lordsburg to Hurley, NM, as the community's first local aural service, and modifies petitioner's construction permit (BPH- 970725MO) to specify the alternate channel and new community of license. See 63 FR 69608, December 17, 1998. Channel 288C1 can be allotted to Hurley in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 9.6 kilometers (5.9 miles) north, at coordinates 32-47-00 NL; 108-08-30 WL, to avoid a short-spacing to Channel 288B, El Porven, Chihuahua, Mexico, and to accommodate petitioner's desired transmitter site. Mexican concurrence in the allotment has been obtained since Hurley is located within 320 kilometers (199 miles) of the U.S.-Mexican border. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
