However, we are not accepting the proposal filed by   Guaranty for a upgrade of Station WBBU's facilities as a counterproposal in this proceeding   because it is contingent upon Station WHMD at Hammond, Louisiana, changing its transmitter   <site. Although Guaranty simultaneously filed applications for both Station WBBU's upgrade and   Station WHMD's change of site, the upgrade at Baker is mutually exclusive with the present site   authorized for Station WHMD, thus making Guaranty's proposal to upgrade .$@   .$@ contingent upon a   favorable disposition of WHMD's application. The Commission does not provide for the  Xb-  [acceptance of contingency proposals elsewhere based on speculative results. See Oxford and  XK-New Albany, Mississippi, 3 FCC Rcd 615 (1988); recon. denied, 3 FCC Rcd 6626 (1988). K yO-  hԍ In an attempt to accommodate Guaranty's application, the engineering staff performed an engineering analysis   to determine if an alternate channel was available for allotment at Tylertown. Our analysis shows that there is no   alternate channel or alternate site. Our concerns about dismissing Guaranty's proposal to upgrade the only FM station at Baker are mitigated by the fact that the community is well served by numerous neighboring stations.  14. Second, allotting Channel 297A to Tylertown is consistent with our FM allotment  X-  ]priorities set forth in Revision of FM Assignment Policies and Procedures, 90 FCC 2d 88  X-  (1982). yOP-  ԍ The allotment priorities are: (1) first fulltime aural service; (2) second fulltime aural service; (3) first local service; and (4) other public interest matters. [Coequal weight is given to priorities (2) and (3)]. Under priority (4), a Channel 297A allotment at Tylertown as a new service would be  X-  /preferable to the Guaranty proposal to upgrade an existing facility. See Benton, El Dorado,   >Hampton, Harrison, Mena and Sherwood, Arkansas; Homer, Louisiana; Salisaw and Vinita,  X-Oklahoma; and Hooks and Hilgore, Texas, 2 FCC Rcd 1963 (1987).  5. Based on the above, we believe the public interest will be served by the allotment   Lof a new service to Tylertown. Channel 297A can be allotted to Tylertown in compliance with   lthe Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 5.3   kilometers (3.3 miles) southeast in order to avoid shortspacing conflicts with the licensed   operation of Station WBBU (FM), Channel 297A, Baker, Louisiana, and Station WKXI (FM),  X -Channel 298C1, Magee, Mississippi.x  yO&-ԍ The coordinates for Channel 297A at Tylertown are 310527 NL and 900547 WL.x   6. Accordingly, pursuant to the authority contained in Sections 4(i),5(c)(1), 303(g) and",))ZZ"   L(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 March 2, 1998, the FM Table   [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-` ` City hh, Channel No.  X_-` `  Tylertown, Mississippi 249A, 297A  X1- | 7. A filing window for Channel 297A at Tylertown, Mississippi, will not be opened at   this time. Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the  X -Commission in a subsequent order.hh, 8. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.  9.
