                            REPORT AND ORDER
                          (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted:  December 17, 1997                                   Released:  January 9, 1998  

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Community Broadcasting Company ("petitioner"), the Commission
has before it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 12 FCC Rcd 13153 (1997) proposing the
allotment of Channel 269A to New Augusta, Mississippi.  Petitioner filed comments reiterating
its intention to apply for Channel 269A if allotted.  No other comments were received.

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 269A to New
Augusta since it would provide the community with its first local aural transmission service. 
Channel 269A can be allotted to New Augusta in compliance with the Commission's minimum
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 7.8 kilometers (4.9 miles) northwest
in order to avoid a short-spacing conflict with the site specified in Station WTKX-FM's
construction permit for Channel 268C, Pensacola, Florida.
 
     3.  Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i),5(c)(1), 303(g) and
(r) and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and
0.283 of the Commission's Rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective February 23, 1998, the FM
Table of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED, with respect
to the community listed below, to read as follows:

                    City                                     Channel No.

                    New Augusta, Mississippi                 269A

     4.  A filing window for Channel 269A at New Augusta, Mississippi, 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.

     5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

     6.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Pam Blumenthal, Mass
Media Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
