Radio Broadcasting Services; Old Forge and Newport Village, NY

The Commission, at the request of 21st Century Radio Ventures, Inc., reallots Channel 259A from Old Forge, NY, to Newport Village, NY, as the community's first local aural service, and modifies petitioner's construction permit (BPH-940203MC) to specify Newport Village as its community of license, and allots Channel 223A to Old Forge as the community's second local FM service. Channel 259A can be allotted to Newport Village in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) northwest, at coordinates 43-15-43; 75-05-02, to avoid a short- spacing to Station WTKW, Channel 258A, Bridgeport, New York, and Station WRVE, Channel 258B, Schenectady, New York. Channel 223A can be allotted to Old Forge in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with regard to all domestic allotments without the imposition of a site restriction, at coordinates 43-42-42; 74-58-24, but is short-spaced to Station KFQR-FM, Channel 223C1, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Canadian concurrence in both allotments has been received since both communities are located within 320 kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border. The Old Forge allotment has been concurred in as a specially negotiated short-spaced allotment. See 62 FR 44435, August 21, 1997, 63 FR 19701, April 21, 1998. With this action, this proceeding is terminated.
