                                     REPORT AND ORDER
                              (Proceeding Terminated)

       Adopted:  November 5,  1997;                        Released:  November 21, 1997      

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

       1.  At the request of Mountain Tower Broadcasting ("petitioner"), the Commission has
before it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 11 FCC Rcd 20530 (1996), proposing the
allotment of Channel 258A at Chugwater, Wyoming, as the community's first local aural
transmission service.  Petitioner filed comments requesting the allotment of Channel 281A in lieu
of Channel 258A at Chugwater, and reaffirming its intention to apply for the channel, if
allotted.  Comments were also filed by Montgomery Broadcasting Limited Liability Company
("Montgomery").

       2.  Montgomery, proponent of Channel 229A at Cheyenne, Wyoming, in MM Docket
No. 96-242, filed comments in support of the proposed allotment of Channel 258A at Chugwater
since this would provide the community with its first local aural service and would not conflict
with Montgomery's proposed allotment of Channel 229A at Cheyenne.

       3.   We believe that the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 258A at
Chugwater, Wyoming, since it would provide the community with its first local aural
transmission service.  An engineering analysis has determined that Channel 258A can be allotted
to Chugwater in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements
at city reference coordinates.

       4.   Accordingly, pursuant to the authority found 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 January 5, 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.

               Chugwater, Wyoming                          258A                           
                                                                                 
       5.  A filing window for Channel 258A at Chugwater, Wyoming, 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.

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

       7.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Sharon P. McDonald,
Mass Media Bureau, (202) 418-2180.  Questions related to the window application filing process
should be addressed to the Audio Services Division, Mass Media Bureau, (202) 418-2700.
