Radio Broadcasting Services; Portland and Seaside, OR

The Commission, at the request of Radio Systems of Miami, Inc., substitutes Channel 254C1 for Channel 253C at Portland, OR, and modifies the license of Station KUPL-FM to specify operation on the lower class channel. To accommodate the allotment at Portland, Channel 272A is substituted for Channel 255A at Seaside, OR, and the construction permit of Station KULU(FM) is modified to specify the alternate Class A channel. See 61 FR 55780, October 29, 1996. The allotment of Channel 254C1 at Portland could enable Station KUPL-FM to relocate its transmitter to better serve its community of license. Channel 254C1 can be allotted to Portland with a site restriction of 9.1 kilometers (5.6 miles) west, at coordinates 45-30-58 NL; 122-43-59 WL, to accommodate petitioner's desired site. Channel 272A can be allotted to Seaside at the transmitter site specified in Station KULU(FM)'s construction permit, at coordinates 45-54-35 NL; 123-56-07 WL. Canadian concurrence in these allotments has been received since both communities are located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
