                              REPORT AND ORDER
                              (Proceeding Terminated)

     Adopted:   August 4, 1999;                   Released:   August 13, 1999        

By the Chief, Allocations Branch:

     1. At the request of STARadio Corporation ("petitioner"), the Commission has before it the
Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 13 FCC Rcd 9528 (1998), proposing the allotment of Channel
293A to St. Anne, Illinois, as the community's first local aural transmission service.  Petitioner filed
comments in support of the proposal reaffirming its intention to apply for the channel, if allotted.
Milner Broadcasting Company ("Milner") also filed supporting comments stating its intention to apply
for the channel.
   
     2.  As stated in the Notice, St. Anne is an incorporated community with a 1990 U.S. Census
population of 1,153 persons. The community has its own local government, a post office, a school,
and businesses.

     3.  We believe the publici interest would be served by allotting Channel 293A at St. Anne,
Illinois, since it would provide the community with its first local aural transmission service.  An
engineering analysis has determined that Channel 293A can be allotted to St. Anne in compliance with
the Commission's minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction of 10.6 kilometers
(6.6 miles) southeast to avoid short-spacings to the licensed sites of Station WYBA(FM), Channel
292A, Lansing, Illinois, and Station WGCY(FM), Channel 292A, Gibson City, Illinois. 
     
     4.  Accordingly, pursuant to the authority found 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, September 27, 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.
          
            St. Anne, Illinois                           293A
     
     5.  A filing window for Channel 293A at St. Anne, Illinois, 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.

     6.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the petition for rule making filed by Milner
Broadcasting Company, requesting the allotment of Channel 293A at Beaverville, Illinois (RM-9358),
IS DISMISSED. 

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

     8.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Sharon P. McDonald, Mass
Media Bureau, (202) 418-2180.  Questions related to the window application filing process should
be addressed to the Audio Services Division, Mass Media Bureau,  (202) 418-2700.
