                        REPORT AND ORDER
                     (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted: October 14, 1998            Released: October 23, 1998 

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Metro Broadcasters-Texas, Inc. ("petitioner"), the Commission has
before it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 13 FCC Rcd 11914 (1998), proposing the
allotment of Channel 279C1 to Questa, New Mexico, as the community's first local aural service. 
Petitioner filed comments reiterating its intention to apply for the channel, if allotted.  No other
comments were received.

     2.  We believe the public interest would be served by allotting Channel 279C1 to Questa,
since it could provide the community with its first local aural service.  Channel 279C1 can be
allotted to Questa in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation
requirements with a site restriction of 5.8 kilometers (3.6 miles) southeast to avoid a short-spacing
to both the allotment reference coordinates and the transmitter site specified in the application of
Idaho Broadcasting Consortium, Inc. (BPH-971126MD), for Channel 279C2 at Silverton,
Colorado.

     3.  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 December 7, 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:

                    City                Channel No.

                    Questa, New Mexico  279C1

     4.  A filing window for Channel 279C1 at Questa, New Mexico, will not be opened at this
time.  Instead, the issue of opening a filing window for this channel will be addressed by the
Commission in a subsequent order.  

     5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.

     6.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Leslie K. Shapiro, Mass
Media Bureau, (202) 418-2180.
