The joint request for approval of a settlement agreement resolves the mutually exclusive  xapplications for new FM radio station, Channel 245A, Willard, Ohio, and contemplates the issuance of  xza construction permit to CFB. Currently, CFB is the licensee of UHF television station WGGNTV,  xKSandusky, Ohio (a Trinity Broadcasting Network "TBN" affiliate) and radio station WGGN(FM), Castalia,  S- xOhio.o yO#- x>ԍ CFB states that it is a for profit corporation which is wholly owned by Wayside Temple, a religious organization which is tax exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Grant of the instant construction permit application would create a new radiotelevision station  xcombination because the Grade A contour of WGGNTV entirely encompasses Willard, the proposed"n, * *,,!"  S- xjcommunity of license of the new FM radio station.tZ yOh- xԍ Because there would be no principal community contour overlap between WGGN(FM) and the proposed new  xFM station in Willard, the rule pertaining to local radio ownership numerical limits pursuant to Section 73.3555(a)(1)  {O-is not implicated. See 47 C.F.R.  73.3555(a)(1).t Thus, the issuance of a construction permit to CFB  xkrequires a onetoamarket waiver. CFB's application for a construction permit and its related waiver  xrequest are unopposed. For the reasons set forth below, we will approve the settlement agreement and  Sg-grant CFB the construction permit application and a permanent waiver of our onetoamarket rule.g yO- xЍ The Mass Media Bureau has delegated authority to act on uncontested onetoamarket waiver requests that  {O- xinvolve stations in the top 100 television markets and that present no new or novel issues. Louis C. DeArias,  {O - xReceiver, 11 FCC Rcd 3662, 3667 (1996) ("DeArias"). This case presents no new or novel issues, and the stations  xin the proposed combination are located in the Cleveland Designated Market Area ("DMA"), the 13th largest U.S. television market, 1998 Television & Cable Factbook.    -x  S- OnetoaMarket Waiver Showing Đ S-TP x  S-  x3. CFB bases its request on the onetoamarket waiver standards adopted in the Second Report  Si- xand Order in MM Docket No. 877, 4 FCC Rcd 1741 (1989) ("Second Report and Order"), recon.  S7- xjgranted in part and denied in part, 4 FCC Rcd 6489 (1989) ("Second Report and Order Recon."). Under  xKthese criteria, the Commission presumptively favors waiver requests involving station combinations serving  xthe top 25 markets where there are at least 30 separately owned, operated, and controlled broadcast  S - xlicensees or "voices" after the proposed combination ("top 25 market/30 voice standard").  yO- xЍ Pursuant to the statutory directive "to extend its [onetoamarket] waiver policy to any of the top 50 markets,  xwconsistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity," under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Pub. L.  xNo. 104104,  202(d), 110 Stat. 56 (1996), the Commission is considering a proposal to implement extension of  {O5- xthe waiver policy in the Review of the Commission's Regulations Governing Television Broadcast Ownership, Second  {O- x;Further Notice of Proposed Rule Making, in MM Docket Nos. 91221 and 878, 11 FCC Rcd 21655, 21685 (1996)  {O-("Second Further NPRM"). The  xCommission also favors waiver requests involving "failed" broadcast stations, that is, stations that have  xynot been operating for a substantial period of time or that are in bankruptcy proceedings. Otherwise, the  S - xLrequests must be evaluated under a more rigorous casebycase approach. See 47 C.F.R.  73.3555, note 7.  Sn-  x4. WGGNTV is licensed to Sandusky and WGGN(FM) is licensed to Castalia, both of which  xare located in Erie County, while the new FM station will be licensed to Willard in adjacent Huron  xCounty. All three stations in CFB's proposed combination are considered part of the 13th ranked  xZCleveland DMA as defined by Nielsen. CFB, however, submits its waiver request pursuant to the caseby xcase standard because it states that its waiver request does not fall into either of the circumstances for a  So- xjpresumptive waiver, i.e., "top 25 market/30 voice" standard or failed station status. CFB asserts that the  xrelevant market is the "Willard market" and that only those radio stations that place a principal community  xcontour and those TV stations that place a Grade A or B signal over the Willard area should be  x!considered. We agree with CFB that it is not entitled to a presumptive waiver under the "top 25  x[market/30 voice" standard. Previously, we have determined that where the DMA covers a large area and  xthe stations at issue compete only in a smaller community, and not with most television stations in the  xDMA or radio stations in the TV metro, our analysis would focus on the local community rather than the  S - xDMA. See, e.g., Citadel License, Inc., 13 FCC Rcd 2700 (MMB 1998); Spectrum Radio, Inc., 12 FCC  S- xRcd 1667 (1997); Atlantic Morris Broadcasting, Inc., 10 FCC Rcd 9495 (1995) (where subject stations",K(K(MMl"  x-compete within smaller community of large DMA, permanent or temporary waivers granted based on case xjbycase showing rather than presumptive waiver under "top 25 market/30 voice" standard). In this case,  xconsistent with this precedent, we will consider as competing facilities those radio stations within the  xCleveland DMA that are either licensed to communities in Huron or Erie County or that place a principal  xycommunity contour over all or portions of those areas and those TV stations within the Cleveland DMA  xthat place a Grade B or better signal over all or portions of Huron or Erie County. Based upon our review  xand as discussed below, we find that CFB's casebycase showing satisfies the criteria for a permanent waiver. x` `  S5-  ]x5. Under the casebycase standard, the Commission makes a public interest determination based  xupon the following five criteria: (1) the potential public service benefits that will arise from the joint  xyoperation of the facilities involved, such as economies of scale, cost savings and programming and service  xbenefits; (2) the types of facilities involved; (3) the number of media outlets owned by the applicant in  xthe relevant market; (4) the financial difficulties of the stations involved; and (5) the nature of the relevant  S6 - xMmarket in light of the level of competition and diversity after joint operation is implemented. Second  S - x/Report and Order, 4 FCC Rcd at 175354. In enunciating the five factors to be considered under the  xcase-by-case standard, the Commission noted that not all five factors must be satisfied in each case, but  xrather the overall consideration of these factors must weigh in favor of granting the waiver request.  Sl- xSecond Report and Order Recon., 4 FCC Rcd at 6491. In support of its waiver request, CFB submits a showing which addresses each of the five factors.  S-  x6. Public Service Benefits of Joint Operation. CFB states that it anticipates substantial savings  xof approximately $75,000 in construction and equipment acquisition costs for the new FM Willard station  x as a result of its present ownership of WGGNTV and WGGN(FM). These savings will be derived  xprimarily from using CFB's recently renovated master control center in Castalia for most of the Willard  xstation's program production according to CFB. Once the new FM Willard station is operational, CFB  xanticipates annual savings of approximately $144,000 from the joint operation of these stations and  xthrough the sharing of personnel. CFB estimates that the use of an existing master control center will save  xan estimated $9,000 per year to rent space for such a production facility. With regard to shared personnel,  x-CFB's vice president, who currently works at WGGNTV and WGGN(FM), will also serve as the manager  xand chief engineer of the new station resulting in savings of at least $60,000 per year in salaries and  x=benefits for those two positions according to CFB. Additionally, CFB plans to use its current sales and  xengineering staffs for the advertising and technical needs of the new station which CFB anticipates will  x!result in at least $60,000 annual savings in salaries, commissions, and engineering fees. CFB also  xanticipates annual savings of $15,000 in advertising and promotional costs by cross promoting  xprogramming and events to be broadcast on the Willard station on both WGGNTV and WGGN(FM).  xCFB states further that its ability to cross promote programming will help to attract an audience for the  xnew FM station. CFB contends that these financial savings will also help ensure the economic viability of the new FM station in Willard.  S -  ]x7. With projected annual savings of approximately $144,000, CFB states that,"more money will  xOmean more program production." CFB states that it plans to invest greater amounts in riskier  xprogramming ventures such as local program production and public service programming. For example,  xCFB states that local and regional news service will be provided to Willard by producing the same news  xformat on the new FM station that is currently broadcast on WGGNTV and WGGN(FM). According to  xkCFB, the use of common staff and equipment will result in more issue responsive programming being  x\produced and broadcast on both the radio and TV stations. CFB states further that the lower cost of  xprogram production and reduced costs of production assistance will enable it to pass on the savings to  x=local programmers such as area churches and ministries to produce their own programming for broadcast on the Willard station, as well as continuing broadcasts on its other stations. "A',K(K(MM+"Ԍx  S-  x8. Types of Facilities/Other Media Outlets. With regard to radio stations, CFB has submitted an  xengineering study which indicates that there are 17 radio stations including the new FM Willard station  xand WGGN(FM) that place a principal community contour over all or portions of Huron or Erie County.  xZWGGN(FM), located in Erie County, is a Class A FM station that operates on 97.7 MHz with an effective  xLradiated power ("ERP") of 0.64 kW from an antenna at 725 feet height above average terrain ("HAAT").  xThe proposed Willard station, located in Huron County, is also a Class A FM station that would operate  xjon 96.9 MHz with an ERP of 6 kW from an antenna 328 feet HAAT. Among the total 17 radio stations  xidentified by CFB as serving the Willard area, four have substantially greater power and coverage than  xeither WGGN(FM) or the proposed Willard station according to CFB. With regard to television stations,  xCFB provides exhibits which indicate that there are 11 TV stations within the Cleveland DMA that place  xa Grade B or better signal over all or portions of Huron or Erie County. WGGNTV, is a UHF TV  xstation, (a TBN affiliate) which operates on Channel 52 with 1,482 kW maximum ("max.") visual from  xan antenna at 774 feet HAAT. CFB states that, WGGNTV has among the smallest coverage contours  xof any TV station in the Cleveland DMA. Aside from the proposed combination, CFB will not own any other media outlets in Huron or Erie County.  S -  x9. Economic Status.  CFB states that neither WGGNTV nor WGGN(FM) is a failed station or  xis in financial difficulties. However, CFB notes that previous waivers have been granted where the applicant did not make a showing of financial distress. x  S-  x 10. Competition and Diversity in the Market. The final factor in CFB's showing is the nature of  xzthe relevant market in light of the Commission's concerns about diversity and competition. As stated  xabove, consistent with case precedent, CFB counts those radio stations that place a principal community  xLcontour over the Willard area because the subject stations in CFB's proposed combination compete only  xin a relatively small local community within a large DMA. CFB's engineering exhibit shows that in  xKaddition to the proposed new FM, there are 16 radio stations including WGGN(FM) owned by 12 separate  xowners that are either licensed to communities in Huron or Erie County or which place a principal  xjcommunity contour over all or portions of those areas. CFB also includes an additional 28 radio stations  xowned by 20 different owners which it asserts, without any supporting engineering exhibits, "have a strong  xlistenable signal in the [Willard] community which is not subject to destructive interference." With regard  xMto TV stations serving the Willard area, CFB's exhibits show that there are 11 TV stations within the  xCleveland DMA that place a Grade B or better signal over all or portions of Huron or Erie County. CFB  xalso includes an additional 3 TV stations from the 66th ranked Toledo DMA that place a Grade A or B  S=-signal over all or portions of the relevant counties.= {O- xԍ CFB submits exhibits from TV and Cable Factbook 1997 to show the Grade B or better signals of the TV stations it includes from the Cleveland and Toledo DMAs. x  S-  x 11. Finally, with regard to advertising revenue, CFB states that neither WGGN(FM) nor WGGN xjTV has ever had a reportable share of the market. Therefore, the addition of the new FM Willard station  xto CFB's existing radioTV combination will not result in competitive dominance for CFB or adversely  xmonopolize advertising revenue in the market according to CFB. Additionally, CFB notes that the number  xof voices will remain the same while the number of broadcast services will increase since it is providing new FM service to the Willard community." ",K(K(MM$"  S-2P Discussion TP  Q-Settlement Agreement x  S4-x 12. We find the applicants have complied with the requirements of Section 73.3525 of the Commission's Rules, which implements Section 311(c)(3) of the Communications Act of 1934, as  S-amended.$ yO6- xԍ Although the subject Settlement Agreement contemplates reimbursement in excess of legitimate and prudent  {O- xexpenses, the Commission has, as required by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, Pub. L. No. 10533, 111 Stat. 251  x(1997), temporarily waived the reimbursement limitations contained in Section 73.3525(a)(93) of the Commission's  {O -rules. See Gonzales Broadcasting, Inc., 12 FCC Rcd 12253, 1225556 (1997). Additionally, since the applicants propose to serve the same community, no question is raised pursuant to Section 307(b) of the Act.  Q5-OnetoaMarket Waiver x  S-  _x 13. At the outset, we note that the pending television ownership proceeding, in which the  xCommission is considering eliminating or modifying the one-to-a-market rule, does not preclude  Si - xconsideration of CFB's request for a permanent one-to-a-market waiver. In the Second Further NPRMĄ  xin the television ownership proceeding, we stated that waiver requests submitted pending resolution of the  S - x/proceeding will be considered under the current criteria for evaluating such requests. Second Further  S - xNNPRM, 11 FCC Rcd at 21689 n.130. Thus, the Second Further NPRM contemplates approval of  xpermanent, unconditional waivers to allow radio-television combinations that do not propose common  xownership of stations exceeding a combination of one television station, two AM stations and two FM  S:- xstations, as long as the requested waivers are clearly consistent with Commission precedent. See id.  xMCFB's proposed combination of one UHF television station and two FM radio stations including the  S- xconstruction permit for the new FM Willard station, is consistent with that approach. See, e.g., Alabama  S-Universal Corporation, 12 FCC Rcd 7556 (1997).  Sq-  S>-  ?x 14. In evaluating a request for a permanent waiver of the onetoamarket rule, the Commission's  xgoal "is to permit the public to benefit from such efficiencies of operation as may be achieved through  xthe use of common facilities and staff, consistent with the maintenance of diversity and vigorous  S- xcompetition within the market areas involved." Second Report and Order Recon., 4 FCC Rcd at 6491.  x>The Commission does not require that all five casebycase criteria be satisfied as a precondition of a  S@- xwaiver, but rather that the overall consideration of these factors weighs in favor of the public interest. Id.  S- xat 6493; Second Report and Order, 4 FCC Rcd at 1753. We conclude that, on balance, CFB meets our  xcasebycase criteria, and that a permanent waiver in this instance would not adversely affect competition and diversity in the relevant market. x  SC-  x15. As to the first criterion, the potential public service benefits of joint ownership, the  xCommission considers the public service benefits that could result from the proposed radiotelevision  S- xcombination, such as projected economies of scale, cost savings and program and service benefits. Second  S- xReport and Order, 4 FCC Rcd at 1753. In this regard, we note that grant of the onetoamarket waiver  xrequest will enable CFB to provide a new FM radio service to the Willard area. CFB has demonstrated  xythat its current ownership of WGGN(FM) and WGGNTV will enable it to save approximately $75,000  xin construction and equipment acquisition costs for the new FM Willard station primarily by using CFB's  xrenovated master control center for the new station's program production. Upon operation of the new FM  xstation with its other owned stations, CFB anticipates annual savings of approximately $144,000 through  xthe sharing of key management, engineering and sales staffs as well as production facilities. These cost"z",K(K(MM%"  xsavings will help ensure the economic viability of the new FM station and will enable CFB to invest more  xin public service and local programming. Specifically, CFB will be able to provide local and regional  xnews service to Willard by adopting the same news format that is currently broadcast on WGGNTV and  xWGGN(FM) through the use of consolidated staff and technical facilities. Moreover, CFB will be able  xto cross promote the new FM Willard station's programming on WGGN(FM) and WGGNTV which will  xhelp attract an audience for the new station. Additionally, reduced production costs will enable CFB to pass on savings to area churches and ministries that broadcast their local programming on CFB's stations. x` `  Sh-  x16. With regard to technical facilities, the Commission aims to predict and avoid any significant  S5- xadverse effects on diversity or competition from too powerful a combination. See Great American  S- xTelevision and Radio Co., Inc., 4 FCC Rcd 6347, 6349 (1989). CFB has submitted an engineering exhibit  xwhich indicates that there are 17 radio stations including the new FM Willard station and WGGN(FM)  xthat serve the Willard area. As discussed below, we have determined that there are an additional 2 FM  Sk - xstationsxk  yO -ԍ We include WMTX(FM) and WVMS(FM) both licensed to communities in Erie County. x which should be included for a total count of 19 radio stations that place a principal community  x.contour over all or portions of Huron or Erie County where CFB's proposed radioTV combination will  x\compete. Among the 9 Class A FM stations, WGGN(FM) which operates at 0.64 kW ERP from an  x[antenna at 725 feet HAAT is the weakest while the proposed facilities of the new FM Willard station at  xk6 kW ERP from an antenna at 328 feet HAAT would make it the strongest. Additionally, there are 5  xClass B FM stations with far greater technical facilities than either WGGN(FM) or the new FM. Four out  xof the 5 Class B FM stations operate at 50 kW ERP from an antenna at 135, 371, 466, 499 feet HAAT  xwhile the fifth operates at 40 kW ERP from an antenna at 545 feet HAAT. With regard to technical  xcomparisons of TV stations within the Cleveland DMA that place a Grade B or better signal over all or  xportions of Huron or Erie County, our independent analysis of CFB's showing indicates that WGGNTV  Sm- xcompetes with 7 other UHF TV stations, at least 2 of which have comparable facilities.q ZmX yOe- xԍ Although WGGNTV currently operates at 1482 kW max. visual from an antenna at 774 feet HAAT, technical  xZcomparisons were based on CFB's pending application to increase WGGNTV's facilities to 5000 kW max. visual  {O-from an antenna at 1391 HAAT. See File No. BPCT960711KJ.q These UHFTV  xkstations include affiliates of WB, CBS, and PBS. There are also 3 VHF stations including affiliates of  xABC, NBC, and FOX that place a Grade B signal over all or portions of Huron or Erie County where  xCFB's proposed radioTV combination would compete. Aside from its proposed radioTV combination,  xCFB will own no other media outlets in either Huron or Erie County. We find based on the foregoing,  xLthat the proposed combination does not present issues of market dominance from a technical standpoint that would be inconsistent with the public interest.  S-  mx17. As regards the financial status of the stations involved in the proposed combination, CFB  x=states that neither WGGN(FM) nor WGGNTV is a "failed station." However, not all five factors need  So- xbe present to justify grant of a waiver. Second Report and Order Recon., 4 FCC Rcd at 6491. We have  xLgranted a number of one-to-a-market waivers where there was no finding that any of the stations were in  S - xfinancial distress. See, e.g., Louis C. DeArias, 11 FCC Rcd 3662 (1996); Alta Gulf FM, Inc., 10 FCC Rcd  S- x.7750 (1995); Henry Broadcasting Co., 11 FCC Rcd 1175 (1995); Atlantic Morris Broadcasting, Inc., 10  S-FCC Rcd 9495 (1995); Secret Communications Ltd., 10 FCC Rcd 6874 (1995).  St-  SA-  0x18. We find that a sufficient number of media "voices" will continue to serve the relevant market  xand that the proposed combination will not create any undue concentration of ownership or control of the  xbroadcast media therein. In considering onetoamarket waiver requests, the Commission typically counts  x=the television stations in the relevant Nielsen DMA and radio stations in the relevant Nielsen Television"!z ,K(K(MM%"  S- xMetro Market.z ^ {Oh- xԍ See Second Report and Order, 4 FCC Rcd at 1760 n.101; see also Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,  {O2- xin MM Docket Nos. 91221 and 878, 10 FCC Rcd 3524, 3539 n.59 (1995). See also Media/Communications  {O-Partners L.P., 10 FCC Rcd 8116 n.3 (1995). z However, in several cases in which the relevant DMA (or formerly used ADI) was very  xlarge but the stations involved in a transaction competed only in a relatively small local community, we  S- xhave accepted alternative methods for determining the number of relevant voices. See, e.g., Atlantic  Sh- xMorris Broadcasting, Inc., 10 FCC Rcd 9495, 9497 (1995); Glendive Broadcasting Corp., 10 FCC Rcd  S6- x?2708, 2711 99194); Duane J. Polich, 4 FCC Rcd 5596, 5597 (1989). Since WGGN(FM) and the  xproposed new FM Willard station, are licensed to communities in Erie and Huron Counties, respectively,  xzwhich are part of the Cleveland DMA but not part of any defined television metro market, we accept  xLCFB's alternative method of counting only those radio stations that are either licensed to communities in  xErie or Huron County or that place a principal community contour over all or portions of those counties.  S8- x.See, e.g., Triad Skywaves, Inc., 12 FCC Rcd 6102, 6107 (MMB 1997) citing Gadsen Broadcasting Co.,  x10 FCC Rcd 8741, 8743 and n.4 (1995). CFB submitted an engineering exhibit which shows that aside  x from the new FM Willard station, there are 16 other radio stations that place a principal community  x>contour over all or portions of Huron or Erie County. In addition to CFB's count of 17 radio station  xincluding WGGN(FM) and the new FM Willard station, we also include WVMS(FM) and WMTX(FM)  xboth of which are licensed to communities in Erie County for a total of 19 commercial and noncommercial  xradio stations (5 AM and 14 FM). However, with the exception of WVMS, we reject those additional 28  xradio stations that CFB asserts provide "a strong listenable signal" to the Willard area for which CFB fails to provide any supporting engineering exhibits.  S;-  x19. As for TV stations, we accept CFB's alternative method of counting those TV stations within  xthe Cleveland DMA that provide Grade B service to Huron or Erie County where CFB's proposed radio xTV combination would compete rather than relying on the TV stations included in the larger Cleveland  S- xDMA. See, e.g., Citadel License, Inc., 13 FCC Rcd 2700 (MMB 1998). Cf., HearstArgyle Stations, Inc.,  xDA 981316, 1998 WL 347224 (MMB rel. July 1, 1998). We reject CFB's inclusion of 3 TV stations  xfrom the Toledo DMA which place a Grade B signal over all or portions of Huron or Erie County because  xthose stations compete for advertising revenues in a separate and distinct DMA. Thus, based upon our  xindependent analysis of CFB's showing, there are 11 TV stations including WGGNTV (8 UHF and 3 VHF stations) that place a Grade B or better signal over all or portions of Huron or Erie County.  S>-  x20. We conclude that, based upon our independent analysis of CFB's showing, there are a total  x=of 19 commercial and noncommercial radio stations (5 AM and 14 FM) and 11 TV stations (8 UHF and  x-3 VHF stations) serving Huron or Erie County where CFB's proposed radioTV combination will compete.  xyAs noted by CFB, the proposed radioTV combination will not affect the number of voices competing in  xthe market. These 30 broadcast stations will be owned and operated by 23 separate owners following the  S?-grant of the construction permit to CFB. "? yO - xZԍ Generally for a onetoamarket waiver, a construction permit for new station would not be counted in the  {O!- xnumber of stations serving the market because the station is not yet operational. See Second Report and Order, 4  xFCC Rcd at 1751. However, in this instance we include the construction permit for the new FM station because it is the subject of the instant onetoamarket waiver.  x  S-  x21. With respect to economic concentration and competition in the context of onetoamarket  xwaiver requests, we usually consider the combined advertising revenue share of the proposed radioTV  Ss- xcombination in the relevant market. See, e.g. Stockholders of Infinity Broadcasting Corp., 12 FCC Rcd  SA- x5012 (1996). Here, our independent inquiry indicates that neither WGGNTV nor WGGN(FM) has a"A ,K(K(MMe""  xjreportable share of advertising revenue in the Cleveland DMA as reported in the BIA Publications, Inc.'s  x("BIA") Television and Radio Master Access Databases. Moreover, radio advertising revenues for  xyWGGN(FM) are unavailable because it is not located in an Arbitron Radio Metro Market for which BIA  Sg- xRadio Master Access Database reports such data. Xg yO- xYԍ The BIA Radio Master Access Database provides 1997 revenue share data for stations in Arbitron's designated  xradio metro markets. For radio stations that are not within such markets, like those at issue here, the database contains only more general information that is not sufficient to analyze revenue share. Obviously, radio advertising revenues are unavailable  xfor the new FM Willard station which has yet to be constructed. Nor are we able to independently  xdetermine advertising revenue shares for any geographical area that may constitute a functional equivalent  xof an Arbitron Radio Metro Market in this case. Thus, we are unable to determine the combined radioTV  x[advertising share for CFB's proposed combination. Nevertheless, the fact that the TV and radio stations  xat issue compete with comparable or technically superior facilities and the fact that the TV station has no  x[share at all, persuade us that the proposed combination will not have an adverse effect on competition in  xthis area. Overall, CFB has demonstrated that economic efficiencies and public interest benefits will be  xgained and such benefits support the grant of a permanent waiver. Based on the totality of circumstances,  xNwe conclude that the addition of the new FM Willard station to CFB's existing UHFTV and FM  xcombination will not have a significant negative impact on competition for broadcasting advertising  xrevenue in Huron or Erie County or the larger Cleveland DMA. Finally, we find that CFB is fully  xqualified and that a grant of its application for a construction permit would serve the public interest by expediting a new FM service to Willard, Ohio.
