Radio Broadcasting Services; Pentwater and Walhalla, MI

Action in this document allots Channel 255A to Walhalla, Michigan, in response to a petition filed by Roger Lewis Hoppe II. See 12 FCC Rcd 4127 (1997). There is a site restriction 6.3 kilometers southwest of the community. Canadian concurrence has been obtained for the allotment of Channel 255A at Walhalla at coordinates 43-54-08 and 86-10-13. A one-step application filed by Bay View Broadcasting, Inc. requesting the substitution of Channel 274A for Channel 276A at Pentwater, Michigan, has been considered as a counterproposal in this proceeding (BPH-970319IE). The allotment of Channel 255A at Walhalla instead of Channel 274A removes the conflict with the pending application at Pentwater. With this action, this proceeding is terminated. A filing window for Channel 255A at Walhalla, Michigan, will not be opened at this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.
