                            REPORT AND ORDER
                          (Proceeding Terminated)

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

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Michael D. Law ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 12 FCC Rcd 13148 (1997), proposing the allotment of
Channel 269C3 to Lindsborg, Kansas.  Petitioner filed comments reiterating his intention to
apply for Channel 269C3 if allotted.  

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 269C3 to
Lindsborg since it would provide the community with an additional FM service.  Channel 269C3
can be allotted to Lindsborg in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation
requirements with a site restriction of 8.6 kilometers (5.4 miles) north in order to avoid short-
spacing conflicts with the licensed operations of Station KFDI-FM, Channel 267C, Wichita,
Kansas; Station KVOE-FM, Channel 269A, Emporia, Kansas; and Station KZSN-FM, Channel
271C, Hutchinson, Kansas.   

     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.

                    Lindsborg, Kansas                    238C3, 269C3

     4.  A filing window for Channel 269C3 at Lindsborg, Kansas, 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.
