FCC Report 3/24: Pair Of Texas Licenses Surrendered

The FCC is opening up a comment period for a proposed rulemaking amending the FM Table of Allotments in Mattoon IL.

The rulemaking proposes to downgrade the vacant allotment on 96.9 in Mattoon from a Class B to B1 as the commission’s analysis found the allotment short-spaced to Champaign Multimedia Group’s 97.5 WHMS-FM Champaign by ten kilometers. Their engineering analysis will keep the allotment consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements with a site restriction 7.6 miles southeast of the city. The allotment was made available by the cancellation of Mattoon Broadcasting Company’s WLBH-FM in April 2018.
