                       REPORT AND ORDER

     Adopted:  June 17, 1998            Released:  June 26, 1998

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

      1.   The Commission considers herein the Notice of Proposed Rule Making ("Notice"), 13
FCC Rcd 6419 (1998), issued in response to a petition filed on behalf of PGR Communications, Inc.
("petitioner"), licensee of Station KYXK(FM), Channel 224A, Gurdon, Arkansas.  The Notice
proposed the substitution of Channel 295A for Channel 224A at Gurdon, and modification of the
license for Station KYXK(FM), as requested.  Petitioner filed supporting comments in response to
the Notice.  No other comments were received.

      2.  As indicated in the Notice, petitioner's proposal is premised on its desire to increase the
effective radiated power of Station KYXK(FM) to full Class A facilities, a benefit from which it is
presently precluded due to  minimum distance separation constraints.  Petitioner advises that the
substitution of channels at Gurdon will enable it to achieve its goal to improve the facilities of Station
KYXK(FM), and expand its coverage area to 26,204 persons within an area of approximately 2,506
square kilometers, representing an increase of 8,553 persons and an area gain of approximately 822
square kilometers.       

      3.  In light of the above, we believe the public interest would be served by substituting
Channel 295A for Channel 224A at Gurdon, Arkansas, since it would provide an expanded coverage
FM service to the community.  Therefore, we will grant the petitioner's modification request.  

      4.  As stated in the Notice, Channel 295A can be allotted to Gurdon consistent with the
minimum distance separation requirements of Section 73.207(b) of the Commission's Rules, utilizing
the petitioner's suggested site located 4.9 kilometers (3 miles) northwest of the community at
coordinates 33-56-59 and 93-11-08.

      5.  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 August 10, 1998, the FM Table of
Allotments, Section 73.202(b) of the Commission's Rules, IS AMENDED with respect to Gurdon,
Arkansas, as follows:

                          City      Channel No.

                Gurdon, Arkansas      295A                                                        
     
 6.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That pursuant to Section 316(a) of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, the license of PGR Communications, Inc. for Station KYXK(FM), Gurdon,
Arkansas, (File No. BLH-850103KP), IS MODIFIED to specify operation on Channel 295A in lieu
of its present operation on Channel 224A, subject to the following conditions:

            (a) Nothing contained herein shall be construed as
            authorizing any change in Station KYXK(FM)'s                                  
          license (File No. BLH-850103KP), except the channel                        
          as specified above.  Any other changes, except those                            
     so specified under Section 73.1690 of the Rules,                                     
require prior authorization pursuant to an                                           
application for a construction permit (FCC Form 301).

                    (b) Program tests may be conducted in accordance with
                    the provisions of Section 73.1620 of the Rules,                                 
     PROVIDED the transmission facilities comply in all                                   
respects with Station KYXK(FM)'s authorization,  
            except for the channel as specified above, and a 
            license application (FCC Form 302) is filed within 10 
            days of commencement of program tests.                    
            
     7.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.
