47 CFR Part 73

[MM Docket No. 93-191; RM-8088]

Television Broadcasting Services; Pueblo, CO

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; denial.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Commission denies a petition for rule making filed jointly

by the University of Southern Colorado

(``USC''), licensee of noncommercial television Station KTSC(TV),

Channel *8, Pueblo, Colorado, and Sangre De Cristo Communications, Inc.

(``SCC''), licensee of commercial television Station KOAA-TV, Channel

5, Pueblo, Colorado. U.S.C. and SCC requested to exchange channels, and

sought to include in the channel exchange a construction permit held by

U.S.C. to relocate its transmitter to a short-spaced site. The

Commission denies the petition because it would be contrary to FCC

policy to grant SCC a minimum spacing waiver at the allotment rule

making stage. U.S.C. and SCC stated that they were not interested in

pursuing the Commission's alternative proposal, set forth in its Notice

of Proposed Rule Making, 58 FR 38548 (July 19, 1993). The Commission

also denies a petition filed by U.S.C. and SCC requesting that this

rule making proceeding be consolidated with various application

proceedings. With this action your proceeding is terminated.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 19, 1995.
