                        REPORT AND ORDER
                     (Proceeding Terminated)

   Adopted:  January 6, 1999            Released:  January 15, 1999

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1.  At the request of Wright & Wright ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the Notice
of Proposed Rule Making, 13 FCC Rcd 13900 (1998), proposing the allotment of Channel 283A to
Pauls Valley, as the community's first or second local FM service.  Petitioner filed comments
reiterating its intention to apply for the channel, if allotted.  Comments and a counterproposal was
filed by Suelou, Inc. ("Suelou").  No other comments or reply comments were received.

     2.  Suelou counterproposes that Channel 283A be allotted to Wynnewood, Oklahoma, as the
community's first local aural service.  It states that Wynnewood, located in Gavin County, has a 1990
U.S. Census population of 2,393 people.  Suelou also states that it will apply for the channel, if
allotted.

     3.  The allotment of Channel 283A at Pauls Valley and Wynnewood are mutually exclusive
since the communities are located only 12 kilometers apart while the Commission's rules stipulate a
minimum distance separation of 115 kilometers for co-channel Class A channels. Further, a staff
engineering study shows that there is no alternate Class A channel available for allotment to either
community.  Therefore, the conflicting proposals will be considered under the guidelines set forth in
Revision of FM Assignment Policies and Procedures, 90 FCC Rcd 2d 88 (1989).  Under these
allotment priorities, we find that Wynnewood clearly is the more deserving community.  Pauls Valley
currently receives local aural transmission service from FM Station KGOK and daytime-only AM
station KVLH.  Therefore, the allotment of Channel 283A would represent a third such service at the
expense of Wynnewood receiving its first such service.  Therefore, we shall allot Channel 283A to
Wynnewood as the community's first local aural service.  Channel 283A can be allotted to
Wynnewood in compliance with the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements without
the imposition of a site restriction.

     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 March 1, 1999, 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.

                    Wynnewood, Oklahoma 283A 

     6.  A filing window for Channel 283A at Wynnewood, Oklahoma, 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.  

     7.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the petition for rule making filed by Wright and
Wright, Inc. (RM-9294), IS DENIED.

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

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