Capstar Royalty II Corporation ("Capstar"), the licensee ofWQEN(FM), Gadsden, Alabama, hereby petitions the Commission to amend the FM Table ofAllotments, 47 C.F.R. Section 73.202(b), to allot Channel 27lC at Springville, Alabama, in place ofChannel 271Cl at Gadsden, Alabama, and to modify Station WQENs authorization accordingly. I This petition is filed pursuant to Section 1.420(i) ofthe Commission's Rules, which permits the modification ofa station's license to specify a new community oflicense without affording other interested parties an opportunity to file competing expressions ofinterest.2 As demonstrated below, based upon the FM allotment priorities, the allotment ofChannel 271C at Springville, Alabama, would result in a preferential arrangement ofallotments vis-a-vis the current allotment ofChannel 271Cl at Gadsden, Alabama. 2. According to the 1990 U.S. Census, Springville is defined as a census designated place ("CDP") with a population of 1,910 persons in 708 households. See Engineering Statement Capstar notes that currently pending before the Commission is an application for a one­ step upgrade ofWQEN from Channel 271Cl to Channel 271C. See FCC File No. BMPH­ 980713IA. The allotment reference coordinates proposed herein for Channel 271C at Springville are the same allotment coordinates specified in the pending one-step upgrade application. : See Modification ofFM and TV Authorizations to Specify a New C.ommunity ofLicense,~4\ ({ FCC Rcd 4870 (1989), recon. granted in part, 5 FCC Rcd 7094 (1990). No. of Copies rec'd~ List ABCOE1?1d1/2 in Support ofa Petition for Rulemaking ofReynolds Technical Associates attached hereto as Exhibit A; see also www.census.gov. Moreover, Springville has its own post office (zip code 35146), police department, fire department, public library, and museum, as well as many churches, schools and businesses. Springville is governed by a mayor and a seven-member City Counci1. See Exhibit B. Accordingly, Springville qualifies as a community to which an FM channel may be allotted. 3. Based upon the FM allotment priorities set forth in Revision ofFMAssignment Policies and Procedures, 90 FCC 2d 88 (1982) ("FM Priorities"), the proposed allotment of Channel 271 C at Springville, Alabama, would result in a preferential arrangement ofallotments as compared to the current allotment ofChanne1271C1 at Gadsden, Alabama. A new FM channel in Springville would provide that community with its first local transmission service, thus fulfilling Priority 3 ofthe Commission's allotment priorities. 3 Following the proposed allotment ofWQEN, three AM stations, WAAX, WMGJ, and WGAD, and two FM stations, WTBB and WSGN, will continue to be licensed to Gadsden. Thus, the proposed change in WQEN's community oflicense will not deprive Gadsden ofits sole local transmission service. 4. Springville is not located within a U.S. Census Urbanized Area. See www.census.gov. In addition, as set forth in Exhibit A hereto, the proposed allotment ofChannel 271 C at Springville, Alabama, would result in a net gain in service to 269,770 persons and 9,758.3 square kilometers, as compared with the current allotment ofChanne1271C1 at Gadsden, Alabama. While the allotment ofChannel 271 C at Springville would create a theoretica110ss area of531.7 square kilometers containing a population of72, 142 persons as compared with the current Channel The FM allotment priorities are: (1) first full-time aural service; (2) second full-time aural service; (3) first local service; and (4) other public interest matters. Co-equal weight is given to priorities (2) and (3). See FM Priorities at 92 (1982). 2 271 C1 allotment at Gadsden, Exhibit A demonstrates that the loss area will continue to be served by at least five full-time broadcast signals. 5. As Exhibit A demonstrates, WQEN's proposed allotment site will enable WQEN to (a) comply fully with the minimum separation requirements set forth in Section 73.207 ofthe Commission's rules, and (b) place a city-grade signal over the entire city ofSpringville in accordance with Section 73.315 ofthe Commission's rules. 6. Finally, Capstar intends to apply for the new Channel 271C allotment at Springville, Alabama, ifso allotted by the Commission. WHEREFORE, the above premises considered, Capstar Royalty II Corporation respectfully requests that the Commission amend the Table ofFM Allotments to delete Channel 271C1 at Gadsden, Alabama, add Channel 271C at Springville, Alabama, and modify the WQEN license accordingly. Respectfully submitted, CAPSTAR ROYALTY II CORPORATION By: WILEY, REIN & FIELDING 1776 K Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20006 (202) 719-7000 Its Attorneys December 21, 1999 3 Exhibit A BROADCAST TECHNICAL CONSULTANTS ENGINEERING STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF A PETITION FOR RULE MAKING Capstar Royalty II Corporation WQEN(FM), channel 279Cl, Gadsden, Alabama To AD279C, Springville, Alabama (WQEN) Prepared by: Reynolds Technical Associates 2421 Presidents Drive, Suite B-23 Montgomery, Alabama 36116 (334) 323-3620 October 8, 1999 2421 Presidents Drive. Suite B-23 • Montlomery. AL 36116. (334) 323-3620. Fn: (334) 323-3623 Engineering Statement In Support ofa Notice ofProposed Rule Making Capstar Royalty n Corporation General The instant Petition for Rule Making (PRM) was prepared for Capstar Royalty II Corporation ("Capstar"), the licensee ofchannel 279C1 (WQEN), Gadsden, Alabama. It is prepared and submitted in order to upgrade channel 279CI at Gadsden, Alabama and change the community oflicense to Springville, Alabama as that community's first local service. Springville, Alabama is an incorporated community m St. Clair County, Alabama. According to the 1990 US Census, it had a population of 1,910 persons. The instant petition calls for one change in the table of allotments with no additional spectrum changes. Capstar requests the deletion ofchannel 279CI at Gadsden, Alabama and the substitution ofchannel 279C at Springville, Alabama. No technical or spectrum changes are needed to facilitate this change, as Capstar has a pending application for a one step upgrade for WQEN. That upgrade seeks the deletion of channel 279CI at Gadsden and the allocation ofchannel 279C at Gadsden. The instant PRM uses the same allocation coordinates as the pending one-step upgrade. Methods The Capstar petition requires no additional channel substitutions in order to allocate channel 279C at Springville. 1 All searches were performed on a V-Soft SearchFM program and verified with the EDX FMSR search program. The FCC F(50,50) contours were calculated using SoftWright's Terrain Analysis Package (TAP) Version 4.1.385. The existing stations' coverage was predicted using the FCC F(50,50) 60 dBu contour for FM stations. The study was based on the latest technical data from the Commission's databases. A professional mapping program from MapInfo Corporation, MapInfo Version 5.0, conducted mapping, population counts, and the gain/loss area. The program contains the exact community boundaries ofthe relevant cities. In the pertinent case where community boundaries were critical, the boundaries were cross-checked with the U.S. Census Bureau's TIGER map. Nature ofthe Capstar Petition Capstar proposes to allot channel 279C at Springville and delete channel 279Cl as a mutually exclusive change in the community of license. No additional substitutions are required to accommodate the Capstar petition. Presently WQEN operates on channel 279Cl licensed to Gadsden, Alabama. The deletion ofchannel 279C at Gadsden will not leave that community without local service, as it will continue to be served by WAAX(AM), channel 570 kHz; WMGJ, channel 1240 kHz; WGAD(AM), channel 1340 kHz; WTBB(FM), channel 210C3; and WSGN(FM), channel 218C3. The petition includes an allocation study for channel 279C at Springville that depicts clear spacing for the proposed allotment, a hypothetical class C 70-dBu contour map, and a gain/loss study that compares the licensed WQEN 60-dBu contour to the proposed WQEN hypothetical class C 60-dBu contour. The final exhibit shows that the loss area will continue to be served by at least 5 other full-time signals. 2 After channel 279CI is deleted at Gadsden, a new first local service is proposed to Springville, Alabama on channel 279C. EXHmITS EXPLAINED Exhibit E, Figure 1 is an allocation study depicting the spacing to all known FM facilities that are affected by the allotment of channel 279C at Springville, using the desired Capstar reference coordinates. Exhibit E, Figure 2 is a map depicting the hypothetical class C 70-dBu contour for channel 279C at Springville. Exhibit E, Figure 3 is a gain/loss study of the population and land area that will be both gained and lost by the substitution of channel 279C at Springville. Exhibit E, Figure 4 is a remaining services study that shows that the loss area will continue to be served by 5 full-time signals. Exhibit E, Figure 5 is a list ofthe facilities shown in Exhibit E, Figure 4. In summary, the instant Capstar PRM proposes the following amendments to the Table of Allotments: Community Present Proposed Gadsden, Alabama 570 kHz, 1240 kHz, 1350 570 kHz, 1240 kHz, 1350 kHz, 210C3, 218C3, 279Cl kHz, 210C3, 218C3 Springville, Alabama 279C The following is a table ofthe area and population that will have service added and lost: 1 Proposed Modification Area Gained (km') Area Lost (km ) Pop. Gained Pop. Lost 279Cl at Gadsden for 279C at Springville 10,290 531.7 341,912 72,142 Net Gained Area: 9,758.3 km1 Net Population Gain: 269,770 Conclusion The Capstar petition has demonstrated that it is in technical compliance with the present Commission Rules concerning such actions.
