                              REPORT AND ORDER
                          (Proceeding Terminated)

     Adopted: February 15, 1995      Released: February 24, 1995

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

          1.  The Commission has before it for consideration the Notice of
Proposed Rule Making, 9 FCC Rcd 6771 (1994), issued in response to a petition
filed by Steven V. Beilfuss ("petitioner").  The Notice proposed the allotment
of Channel 247A to Reed City, Michigan, as that community's first local
broadcast service.  Petitioner filed comments reaffirming his interest in the
allotment of Channel 247A at Reed City.  No other comments were received.

         2.  We believe the public interest would be served by allotting
Channel 247A to Reed City, Michigan, as it will provide the community with its
first local transmission service.  Channel 247A can be allotted to Reed City
consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the
Commission's Rules provided there is a site restriction 1.9 kilometers (1.2
miles) southwest of the community.  Since Reed City is located within 320
kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-Canadian border, concurrence of the
Canadian government has been obtained for this allotment.

          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  April 10, 1995, the FM Table of Allotments,
Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED for the community
listed below, to read as follows:

               Community                         Channel No.

            Reed City, Michigan                     247A          
              
     





     4.  The window period for filing applications for Channel 247A at Reed
City will open on  April 10, 1995, and close on  May 11, 1995.

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