                        REPORT AND ORDER
                     (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted: November 12, 1997           Released: December 5, 1997 

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Will Kemp ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the Notice of
Proposed Rule Making, 12 FCC Rcd 6075 (1997), proposing the allotment of Channel 244C to
Mesquite, Nevada, as the community's second local FM service.  Petitioner filed comments
reiterating his intention to apply for the channel, if allotted.  No other comments were received.

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 244C to Mesquite,
Nevada, since it could provide the community with its second local and first competitive FM service. 
Channel 244C can be allotted to the community in compliance with the Commission's minimum
distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 5.4 kilometers (3.4 miles) north to avoid
a short-spacing to the outstanding construction permit (BMPH-960607IH) of Station KTVF,
Channel 244C2, Williams, Arizona, and to one of the pending applications (ARN-950825MB) for
Channel 244C2 at Lake Havasu City, Arizona. 

     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 January 20, 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.

                    Mesquite, Nevada         244C, 248C1

     4.  A filing window for Channel 244C at Mesquite, Nevada, 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 Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass
Media Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
