Re: Petition for Rule Making Shattuck,

Dear Ms. Dortch:

Enclosed is an original and four (4) copies of a Petition for Rule Making to add Channel 281C2 at Shattuck, Oklahoma.

Respec- submitted,

In the Matter of )

Amendment of 73.202 (b) ) MB Docket No. Table of Allotments ) FM Broadcast Stations 1 (Shattuck, OK) 1

To: John Karousos, Assistant Chief Audio Division of the Media Bureau

PETITION FOR RULE MAKING

Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. 1.401, Charles Crawford respectfully petitions the FCC to institute a Rule Making proceeding to amend the E'M Table of Allotments to add

Channel 281C2 at Shattuck, Oklahoma.

DISCUSSION

Petitioner respectfully submits that the public interest would be served by allocating Channel 281C2 to

Shattuck, Oklahoma as that community's first local service. Shattuck, Oklahoma is an incorporated community with a population of 1,274 people.' Shattuck has its own mayor, its own schools, fire department, police department, post office and a number of local churches.

Shattuck is a community that is certainly deserving of a

U.S. Census 2000 local service. The proposed channel 281C2 will provide

additional diversity and an outlet for local self-

expression to Shattuck residents and therefore is

in the public interest. "Local radio stations play an

important role in their communities, providing local news,

information and entertainment to residents, and generally

serving as good corporate citizens in the local community

life. This is particularly true in smaller towns, where

the radio stations are limited in number. Yet there are

still rural areas of our country that do not have even a

local radio station."'

In order for Channel 281C2 to be allotted to Shattuck,

Oklahoma, two vacant allotments will need to moved to new

channels and one station must be reclassified from C to CO.

Station KMGL in will need to be reclassified

from a C to a CO. (See, Attachment A, Request to Reclassify

Statement for KMGL)

The proposed changes are:

Charles Crawford, the proponent of Channel 281C2 at Shattuck, Oklahoma, in accordance with the above Docket, formally requests that the Commission reclassify Radio Station KMGL(FM) as a Class CO facility. Charles Crawford certifies that no alternative channel is available for the service he proposes at Shattuck as is proposed in the Petition for Rule Making. A copy of this Petition for Rule Making is being served on Renda Broadcasting Corporation of Nevada, as is required in the above Docket.
