REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: June 6, 2007   Released: June 8, 2007
By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:
1. The Audio Division has before it a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued at the request of 
Akron Broadcasting Company (“Petitioner”), seeking to amend the FM Table of Allotments by 
allotting Channel 279C1 at Akron, Colorado, as the community’s first local aural transmission service.  
To accommodate the proposal consistent with the minimum distance separation requirements of the 
Commission’s Rules, Petitioner requested the reclassification of Station KRFX(FM), Denver, 
Colorado, Channel 278C to specify operation on Channel 278C0.1  Petitioner filed comments in 
support of its proposal, pledging to file for the channel, if allotted, and build the station if its 
application is granted.  Jacor Broadcasting of Colorado, Inc. (“Jacor”), licensee of Station KRFX(FM), 
filed opposing comments and reply comments.
2. We will grant the allotment of Channel 279C1 at Akron because it would provide the 
community with its first local aural transmission service.  We find that Akron is a community for 
allotment purposes. According to Petitioner, the town of Akron was incorporated in 1882, and is listed 
in the 2000 U.S. Census with a population of 1,711 persons.  Akron has its own post office and zip 
code and is the county seat of Washington County.  Petitioner states that Akron has an elected mayor 
and town council, and the town government provides many services including local zoning and water 
and sewer service.  There are numerous businesses and civic organizations.  It has its own schools and 
library, and there are many churches.  Petitioner states that 20,384 persons would gain a service by the 
addition of Channel 279C1 at Akron, and that it will file an application and construct the facility if the 
channel is allotted.
  
1 See 1998 Biennial Regulatory Review—Streamlining of Radio Technical Rules in Parts 73 and 74 of the 
Commission’s Rules, Second Report and Order, 15 FCC Rcd 21,649 (2000).  Pursuant to the requirements set forth 
in Note 4 of Section 73.3573 of the rules, we issued an Order to Show Cause to Jacor as licensee of Station
KRFX(FM), Denver, Colorado.   See In Re Reclassification of License of Station KRFX(FM), Denver, Colorado, 18 
FCC Rcd 3220 (MB 2003)   Jacor responded and filed the necessary application  (File No. BPH-20030424AA), 
whose grant was subsequently rescinded. See Public Notice, Report No. 25498 (June 3, 2003).  On November 9, 
2004, that application was dismissed. See Letter to Marissa G. Repp, Esq., BPH-20030424AAN, et al., Reference 
1800B3 (Chief, Audio Div. November 9, 2004).  On December 9, 2004,  Jacor filed a Petition for Reconsideration of 
that dismissal.  On September 18, 2006, Jacor withdrew its Petition for Reconsideration and its opposing comments in 
this docket.1  See Joint Request for Approval of Settlement and for Other Relief, filed jointly by Coloradio, Inc., 
Jacor, and Citicasters Licenses, L.P., dated  September 12, 2006.  Pursuant to this agreement, Jacor’s license for 
Station KRFX(FM), Denver, Colorado, has been reclassified from Channel 278C to Channel 278C0.
