Summary

In response to a Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 66 FR 30366 (June 6, 2001) this Report and Order allots Channel 287C3 to Alamo, Georgia, and provides Alamo with its first local aural transmission service. This document also denies a mutually exclusive application filed by Tel-Dodge Broadcasting Co.(“Tel-Dodge”), licensee of Station WMCG(FM), Milan Georgia to change its transmitter site. The Commission compared the merits of Radio East Corp's rulemaking petition that proposed the allotment of Channel 287C3 to Alamo with those of Tel-Dodge's application, pursuant to the Commission's Revision of FM Assignment Policies and Procedures , 90 FCC 2d 88 (1982). The Commission preferred the rulemaking petition. The coordinates for Channel 287C3 at Alamo are 32-19-29 North Latitude and 82-43-23 West Longitude. This allotment has a site restriction of 20.4 kilometers (12.7 miles) north of Alamo.
