Abstract
In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 69 FR 9790 (March 2, 2004) this Report and Order denies a request by CWA Broadcasting, Inc., the licensee of Station WINX-FM, St. Michaels, Maryland, to upgrade its present Channel 232A to Channel 232B1, reallot Channel 232B1 to Cambridge, Maryland, and modify Station WINX-FM's license accordingly. The Report and Order allots Channel 235A to Newark, Maryland, thus providing that community with a first local aural transmission service. The reference coordinates for Channel 235A at Newark, Maryland are 38-12-20 NL and 75-17-15 WL, with a site restriction of 5.0 kilometers (3.1 miles) south of Newark. The Report and Order denies the counterproposal of Route 12 Community Broadcasters to allot Channel 232A to Stockton, Maryland, and allots Channel 233A to Chincoteague, Virginia, which would provide Chincoteague with a second local aural transmission service. The reference coordinates for Channel 233A at Chincoteague are 37-56-00 NL and 75-22-36 WL.
