Radio Broadcasting Services; Medina, TX

AGENCY:

Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION:

Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY:

This document denies a petition for rule making filed by Medina Radio Broadcasting Company requesting the allotment of Channel 296A at Medina, Texas. See 64 FR 36324, July 6, 1999. This document in this proceeding questioned community status and requested commenting parties to present the Commission with information demonstrating community status. Based on the totality of evidence submitted, we do not believe that Medina qualifies as a community for allotment purposes and that it would not serve the public interest to make a channel allotment in response to Medina Radio's proposal.
