Channel 221A is the only channel which can be allotted to either community.  xTherefore, the two communities must be comparatively considered using the allotment priorities  Xy- xset forth in Revision of FM Assignment Policies and Procedures, 90 FCC 2d 88 (1982). These  xpriorities are: (1) first fulltime aural reception service; (2) second fulltime aural reception service;  x(3) first local transmission service; and (4) other public interest matters, with coequal weight  xgiven to priorities (2) and (3). Our decision herein rests solely on the fourth priority, other public  x=interest matters. The first three priorities are not applicable in this case since neither allotment  xwould provide either a first or second fulltime aural reception service and both communities have  xlocal aural transmission service. Lockport receives local service from fulltime AM Station WLVL and Amherst receives local service from daytimeonly AM Station WUFO.   ^x7. Pursuant to our evaluation of the relative public interest benefits accruing from an  xallotment to each community, we find that the public interest would be better served by allotting  xyChannel 221A to Amherst, as it would provide the larger community with its first nighttime and  xLfirst competitive aural service. Our comparison of the communities considered such factors as  xzpopulation, location and reception services. In this case, we find that both communities are  xconsidered to be wellserved with at least five fulltime reception services. We note that Amherst  xdoes receive more reception services than Lockport. However, we find this not to be dispositive  x\in favor of Lockport. Amherst is more than four times larger than Lockport and is presently  xwithout any local transmission service at night. Further, the fact that a Lockport station may  xprovide a fifth reception service to 2,679 persons does not overcome the vastly larger number of  X - xpersons who would receive a new service from the Amherst station. As stated in Seabrook,  X!- xHuntsville, Bryan, Victoria, Kenedy, and George West, Texas, 10 FCC Rcd 9360 (1995), we will  x.continue to base our decisions on raw population totals unless the opposing party presents a  x>showing discounting the raw totals in proportion to the number of services available in the  Xh$- xproposed service area pursuant to the methodology set forth in Greenup, Kentucky and Athens,  XQ%- xOhio, ("Greenup"), 4 FCC Rcd 3843 (1989), aff'd in relevant part, 6 FCC Rcd 1493 (1991),  X:&- xappeal dismissed sub nom., WATH, Inc. v. FCC, D.C. Cir. NO,. 911268 (September 26, 1991).  xThis, Culver did not do. Therefore, consistent with Commission policy and precedent, we will"#',^(^(JJ%" allot Channel 221A to the larger of the two communities.   Px8. Channel 221A can be allotted to Amherst in compliance with the Commission's  xLmileage separation requirements with respect to all domestic allotments without the imposition  X- xof a site restriction.TF yO-ԍ The coordinates for Channel 221A at Amherst are 425842 North Latitude and 784800 West Longitude. The allotment is shortspaced to Channel 219C1, St. Catharines, Ontario,  x0Channels 221C1/221B, Brantford, Ontario, and Channel 222B, Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.  xHowever, concurrence by the Canadian government has been received in the Amherst allotment as a specially negotiated shortspaced allotment.   x9. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and  xL(r) and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and  x0.283 of the Commission's Rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective January 20, 1998, the FM  xLTable of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED, with respect to the community listed below, to read as follows:  X -x` `  Cityhh@hppChannel No.  Xy-x` `  Amherst, New Yorkhpp221A   x10. A filing window for Channel 221A at Amherst, New York, will not be opened at this  xtime. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent order.   x11. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the petition for rule making filed by Culver Communications Corp. (RM8946) to allot Channel 221A to Lockport, NY, IS DENIED. x12. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.   Nx13. For further information concerning this proceeding, contact LeslieK.
