Also, the TriCountyMontezuma counterproposal will not be considered because one of its indispensable and constituent channel substitutions cannot be implemented. The proposed deletion of Channel 264A at Cuthbert is invalid because an individual filed an expression of interest that he intended to apply for a construction permit for that vacant, unappliedfor channel. Our engineering analysis confirms Tifton's engineering statement that no other Class A channel is available at Cuthbert. In accord with longstanding policy, the Commission has refused to delete vacant channels when an expression of interest has been  X_-filed. See e.g.,  Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, Wisconsin, 55 RR 2d 592 (1984) and  XJ-Montrose and Scranton, Pennsylvania, 3 FCC Rcd 1061 (1988), recon. denied, 4 FCC Rcd  X5-7799 (1989), rev. denied, 5 FCC Rcd 6305 (1990). Thus, because TriCounty's counterproposal and its chain of necessary substitutions depend on the Channel 264A substitution at Cusseta and deletion of that channel at Cuthbert, which, of course, is invalid, the counterproposal cannot be realized and will be dismissed. This leaves only the RCI proposal and the Tifton counterproposal to be analyzed and compared and we will do so in the light of the comments regarding each of them.  X- 7. RCI Comments. RCI gives continued support for its rule making proposal to substitute Channel 236A for Channel 252A at its Station WKKN(FM) at Cordele, and to modify its license accordingly. RCI had first alleged in its rule making petition that first adjacent channel interference would be caused in neighboring Leesburg and Smithville, Georgia. Later, RCI indicated that it was requesting a change of channel in Cordele for another reason. RCI stated its intent to eventually upgrade Station WKKN(FM) by filing a "onestep upgrade" of Channel 236A. In any event, RCI expressed its interest in the allotment of whatever channel combinations would permit the deletion of Channel 252A at Cordele so that an upgrade of Station WKKN(FM) could be implemented without allowing for competing applications.  X-8. Tifton Comments and Replies. As a part of its comments and counterproposal, Tifton alleges that its proposed Class C2 upgrade of Station WJYF(FM) at Nashville would serve 68,362 more persons than would be served by operating the station as a Class C3  XX-station.X^ yO- xԍ Tifton's counterproposal specifically addressed the DBC proposal submitted in its rule making petition, which  xincorporated a set of accommodating substitutions that are identical to the interrelated rule making petition submitted  xby RCI. We have, therefore, deemed the Tifton opposition to the DBC counterproposal as an opposition to the RCI  yO) - xproposal as well. Of course, the DBC proposal cannot be implemented because of Station WAZE(FM)'s license  {O -cancellation, as we note in para. 6, supra.Ė On that basis, Tifton asserts, its counterproposal should be preferred over RCI's proposal because the switching of channels at Cordele from Channel 236A to Channel 252A would not permit service to any more people than it presently serves. Tifton claims that the allotment of Channel 236A to Cordele rather than Channel 252A "offers no public interest benefit." Furthermore, argues Tifton, there is no public interest justification in the elimination of alleged interference to the reception of Station WKKN(FM)'s signal in communities outside of Cordele. After reviewing DBC's counterproposal, Tifton commented that it continued to support its own Nashville upgrade and the rejection of the"!z,-(-(ZZ " RCI proposal to change channels in Cordele. In its reply comments, however, while reiterating support of its own proposed upgrade at Nashville, Tifton reverses itself and now supports the substitution of Channel 236A for Channel 252A at Cordele, but with newly  X-proposed sets of coordinates,("^ yO4- xxԍ Tifton proposes these coordinates as alternatives to those proposed by DBC for the upgrade of WAZE(FM)  {O- xin Dawson. Of course, as stated in para. 6, supra, the DBC proposals themselves are rendered moot and will not be  xgiven further consideration. Tifton also notes that the TriCounty proposal is invalid because it requires the deletion of Channel 264A at Cuthbert, for which an expression of interest was filed, as we also note in para 6.( which would permit fully spaced operation of the Cordele and Nashville proposals. RCI in its replies has agreed to change the coordinates of its Cordele station to clear Nashville.  X_-9. Discussion. We will grant Tifton's counterproposal to upgrade Nashville, Georgia Station WJYF(FM) on Channel 237C2, but will deny RCI's rule making petition to change the operating frequency of Cordele, Georgia Station WKKN(FM) from one Class A channel to another. As we noted above, the demise of Station WAZE(FM) removes DBC's proposal and counterproposal from consideration, and the unavailability of a channel substitution critical to the TriCountyMontezuma's allotment request renders it unworkable. Although dismissal of DBC's proposal and counterproposal and TriCounty's counterproposal leaves RCI's proposal and Tifton's proposed upgrade without conflict, only Tifton's Nashville upgrade will be granted because its resulting service area expansion is in the public interest.  X{- 10. RCI has presented no public interest reason for a mere substitution of Channel 236A for Channel 252A, the operating frequency of Station WKKN(FM). While interference may be experienced in Leesburg and Smithville resulting from the thenrecent allotment of first adjacent Channel 251A at Dawson, which was claimed to be at a minimum separation distance, there is no protection from interference to any greater degree than that afforded by assignment of stations in accord with the Commission's minimum  X-spacing requirements. See Rule Sections 73.207 and 73.209. In this case, there is an added disqualifying factor: both "Icommuitie "I communities "I  "Is  lie outside of the 60 dBu service contour of Station WKKN(FM). The Commission's technical rules do not protect such areas from interference. Therefore, while Smithville and Leesburg may receive Station WKKN(FM)'s signal and some of its programming may be directed to those communities, there is no protection from interference to regions outside of a station's authorized service area.   11. As related above, RCI later states that it wishes to substitute Channel 236A for Channel 252A in order to permit it to later upgrade Station WKKN(FM) and avoid any competition it may encounter in applying to operate on that channel. The Commission has never countenanced a licensee's merely changing its channel to another of the same class so that it can be upgraded on a co or adjacent channel, at some indeterminate time in the future, and avoid any competition it may encounter by qualifying for treatment under Section 1.420(g). Again, no public interest benefit has been offered by RCI to justify, in essence, reserving a channel for application by the existing licensee and denying the public"!,-(-(ZZ " benefits that might be derived from widening the pool of potential station operators. For all of these reasons, we will deny RCI's proposal to change its channel.  X- 12. Technical Summary. Channel 237C2 can be allotted to Nashville, Georgia in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements at a site restricted to 6.3 kilometers (3.9 miles) northwest of the community, with reference  Xx-coordinates of North Latitude 311518 and West Longitude 831708.x^ yO-ԍ The coordinates for Channel 251A at Dawson are North Latitude 314406 and West "ILongtitud "I Longitude "I  "Ie  842901.   13.
