FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 01-2378; MM Docket No. 00-226; RM-10001]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Fair Bluff, NC, Litchfield Beach, 
Johnsonville and Olanta, SC

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission denies request of joint petitioners Atlantic 
Broadcasting Co., Inc., permittee of Station WSIM(FM), Channel 287C3, 
Fair Bluff, North Carolina, and The Waccamaw Neck Broadcasting Company, 
licensee of Station WPDT(FM), Channel 286A, Johnsonville, South 
Carolina. The Report and Order denies the request for the reallotment 
of Channel 286A from Johnsonville, South Carolina, to Olanta, South 
Carolina, as the community's first local aural transmission service, 
because it would remove the community's sole local transmission service 
without countervailing public interest benefits. It denies as moot the 
reallotment of Channel 287C3 from Fair Bluff, North Carolina, to 
Litchfield Beach, South Carolina, as the community's first local aural 
transmission service.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Victoria McCauley, Mass Media Bureau,
