Radio Broadcasting Services; Vergennes, VT, Willsboro and Malone, NY

The Commission, at the request of Watertown Radio Associates, reallots Channel 244A from Vergennes, Vermont, to Willsboro, New York, and modifies Station WXPS(FM)'s license accordingly. See 62 FR 45784, August 29, 1997. In response to a counterproposal filed by Cartier Communications, the Commission substitutes Channel 243C3 for Channel 243A at Malone, New York, and modifies the license of Station WVNV(FM) to reflect the higher powered channel. Both channels can be allotted in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements. Channel 244A can be allotted to Willsboro with a site restriction of 5.2 kilometers (3.2 miles) southeast at coordinates 44-19-20 NL and 73-21-00 WL. Channel 243C3 can be allotted with a site restriction of 16.0 kilometers (10.0 miles) northeast at coordinates 44-54-40 NL and 74-06-40 WL. Since both allotments create short-spacing conflicts to Canadian stations, we have obtained Canadian approval for Channel 244A at Willsboro and Channel 243C3 at Malone as specially negotiated short-spaced allotments. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
