REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: March 7, 2007    Released: March 9, 2007  
By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:
1.  The Audio Division has before it the Notice of Proposed Rule Making in this proceeding.1  
George S. Flinn, Jr. (“George Flinn”) filed Comments.  WKJF Radio, Inc. (“WKJF Radio”) filed 
Comments and Reply Comments.  For the reasons discussed below, we are deleting the Channel 227A 
allotment at Glen Arbor, Michigan.  
Background  
2.  At the request of WKJF Radio, licensee of Station WJZQ (formerly WKFJ-FM), Channel 
225C, Cadillac, Michigan, the Notice in this proceeding proposed the deletion of vacant Channel 227A at 
Glen Arbor, Michigan.  WKJF Radio filed this request in order to permit grant of its pending application 
to relocate the Station WJZQ transmitter site and downgrade the allotment to Class C1 (BMLH-
20020517AAG).   This application was necessitated by the fact that Station WJZQ antenna is currently 
side-mounted on the television Station WWTV tower.  The owner of the tower has requested WKFJ 
Radio to relocate its antenna in order that the tower could be used by Station WWTV-DT for digital 
television.  In order to accommodate the relocation and downgrade to Class C1, WKFJ Radio requests
deletion of vacant Channel 227A at Glen Arbor.  In regard to this allotment, we noted that the Audio 
Division had dismissed the application for this allotment (File No. BPH-19970724M4) filed by George 
Flinn and subsequently denied a Petition for Reconsideration filed by George Flinn directed against that 
dismissal.          
3.  Channel 227A was allotted to Glen Arbor, Michigan, in response to a Petition for Rule 
Making filed by Arborland Broadcasting Company.2 George Flinn was the sole applicant for this 
allotment (File No. BPH-19970724M4).  This application was dismissed.3 The basis for that dismissal 
  
1 Glen Arbor, Michigan, Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 18 FCC Rcd 12686 (MB 2003).
2 Glen Arbor, Michigan, Report and Order, 12 FCC Rcd 5939 (MMB 1997).
3 At the request of George Flinn, an Application for Review directed to the dismissal of that application was 
dismissed on March 30, 2006. Public Notice released April 4, 2006 (Report No. 26026).

was that any rule-compliant transmitter site would be located in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National 
Lakeshore Park which is unavailable for a transmitter site.  In the Notice, we stated our tentative 
conclusion that this allotment could never be utilized and that the public interest would be served by the 
deletion of this allotment in order to permit Station WJZQ to modify its facilities.  In doing so, we also 
stated that any party filing comments supporting the retention of the Channel 227A allotment at Glen
Arbor would be required to provide evidence that the National park Service would allow construction of a 
commercial transmitter within the boundaries of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore Park or that 
there is an available site outside the Park that would be comply with our technical rules.  Except for 
George Flinn filing Comments referring to his then pending application for the Glen Arbor allotment, no 
other party filed comments supporting the retention of this allotment.  As such, we believe that the public
interest would be served by deletion of this allotment and permitting Station WJZQ to modify its 
facilities.   
 
4.  The Commission will send a copy of this Report and Order in a report to be sent to Congress 
and the Government Accountability Office pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 
801(a)(1)(A).
 
5.  Accordingly, pursuant to authority contained in Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r) and 
307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and 0.283 of the 
Commission’s rules, IT IS ORDERED, That effective April 24, 2007, the FM Table of Allotments,
