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

Television Broadcasting Services; Pueblo, CO

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; denial.

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

SUMMARY: This document denies the application for review jointly filed

by the University of Southern Colorado and Sangre De Cristo

Communications, Inc. of the Report and Order, 60 FR 37041 (July 19,

1995) in this proceeding which denied petitioners' joint petition to

exchange their television channel assignments. The Commission

determined that its rules did not require an exchange under the

circumstances and that the requested exchange would not be granted

because a short-spacing waiver granted to the noncommercial licensee

KTSC(TV), largely on the grounds that it would extend noncommercial

service, was not appropriate for the commercial licensee (KOAA-TV).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Arthur D. Scrutchins, Mass Media

Bureau (202) 418-2180.
