Abstract

In response to a proposal filed on behalf of Cochise Broadcasting LLC, licensee of Station KCDQ, Channel 237A, Douglas, Arizona, this document substitutes Channel 237C for Channel 237A at Douglas, reallots Channel 237C to Tombstone, Arizona, as that community's first local aural transmission service, and modifies the license for Station KCDQ, as requested. Additionally, to accommodate the allotment of Channel 237C at Tombstone, an Order to Show Cause was issued to the licensee of Station KNUW(FM), Channel 237C1, Santa Clara, New Mexico, to specify operation on Channel 236C1 at its current transmitter site.

Once an official response from the Mexican government has been obtained, the interim condition may be removed. Channel 236C1 at Santa Clara, New Mexico, occurs at the licensed site of Station KNUW(FM).
