Radio Broadcasting Services; Lockport and Amherst, NY

The Commission, at the request of Kevin O'Kane, allots Channel 221A to Amherst, NY, as the community's first local FM service. See 61 FR 65509, December 13, 1996. The request of Culver Communications Corp. to allot Channel 221A to Lockport, NY, is denied. Channel 221A can be allotted to Amherst in compliance with the Commission's minimum mileage separation requirements with respect to all domestic allotments without the imposition of a site restriction, at coordinates 42-58-42 North Latitude and 78-48-00 West Longitude. The allotment is short-spaced to Channel 219C1, St. Catharines, Ontario, Channels 221C1/221B, Brantford, Ontario, and Channel 222B, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. However, concurrence by the Canadian government has been received in the Amherst allotment as a specially negotiated sort-spaced allotment. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
