                       REPORT AND ORDER 
                    (Proceeding Terminated)


   Adopted:  April 30, 1997             Released:  May 9, 1997  

  By the Chief, Allocations Branch:
  
  1.  The Commission has before it for consideration the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 12
  FCC Rcd 1268 (1997), proposing the allotment of Channel 227A to Glen Arbor, Michigan, as that
  community's third FM broadcast service.  The Notice was issued in response to a petition filed by
  Arborland Broadcasting Company ("Arborland").  Arborland filed comments reiterating its
  intention to apply for Channel 227A at Glen Arbor.  No other comments were received at the
  Commission in response to this proposal.
  
  2.  We believe the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 227A to Glen Arbor,
  Michigan, since it will provide the community with additional broadcast service.  As indicated in
  the Notice, Channel 227A can be allotted to Glen Arbor in compliance with the minimum distance
  separation requirements of the Commission's Rules provided there is a site restriction 7.9
 kilometers (4.9 miles) south of the community.    The site restriction will prevent a short spacing
  to Station WBCM, Channel 228C2, Boyne City, Michigan.  Since Glen Arbor 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 June 23, 1997,  the FM Table
  of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED for the community
  listed below, as follows:
  
                                                               
  
                Community           Channel Number
  
           Glen Arbor, Michigan           227A, 238C2, 251C3  
  
  4.  The window period for filing applications for Channel 227A at Glen Arbor, Michigan, will
  open on June 23, 1997, and close on July 24 , 1997.                                   
  
  5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

  Bureau, (202) 418-2180.   Questions related to the window application filing process for Channel
