## Abstract

The Commission, at the request of Atlantis Broadcasting Co., LLC, allots Channel 242A at Atlanta, Illinois, as the community's first local aural transmission service (RM-8704). We also deny the mutually exclusive proposal filed by WMSI, Inc., proposing the allotment of Channel 241A at Athens, Illinois, as the community's first local aural transmission service (RM-8652). See 60 FR 39143, August 8, 1995. Channel 242A can be allotted to Atlanta in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 6.1 kilometers (3.8 miles) southwest to avoid short- spacings to the licensed sites of Station WHOW-FM, Channel 240A, Clinton, Illinois, and Station KIHT(FM), Channel 242C1, St. Louis, Missouri, and to the application site (40-40-11 and 89-53-34) for Channel 243A, Farmington, Illinois. The coordinates for Channel 242A at Atlanta are North Latitude 40-13-22 and West Longitude 89-17-04. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
