In re: WGNW-LP, Candler, NC
Facility ID No. 133487
Montmorenci United Methodist Church
File No. BAPL-20070824ABZ
Application for Assignment of License
Informal Objection 
Dear Counsel:
We have before us the above-captioned application (“Assignment Application”) to assign the license 
of Station WGNW-LP, Candler, North Carolina (“Station”) from Montmorenci United Methodist Church
(“MUMC”) to WGNW Radio Ministries, Inc. (“WGNW”).1 Also before us is a Petition to Deny the 
Assignment Application, filed by Mount Pisgah Adventist Educational Media (“Mount Pisgah”).2 For the 
reasons stated below, we dismiss the Assignment Application and dismiss the Petition to Deny as moot.  
Background.  On December 11, 2007, the Commission released a Third Report and Order and 
Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“Third Report and Order”)3 that, among other things, 
made certain revisions to the Commission’s Rules (“Rules”) regarding the assignment of LPFM licenses.  
Under the revised Rules, which went into effect on March 17, 2008,4 we now require a three-year holding 
  
1 See FCC File No. BAPL-20070824ABZ.
2 MUMC filed an Opposition on October 11, 2007.
3 See Creation of a Low Power Service, Third Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking, 22 FCC Rcd 21912 (2007). 
4 The final Rules were published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2008, and went into effect on March 17, 
2008.  Third Report and Order, 73 FR 3202 (Jan. 17, 2008).

period from the issuance of an LPFM license, during which a licensee cannot transfer or assign the 
license, and must operate the station.5  
MUMC received its license to cover on February 12, 2008.6 It therefore has not yet satisfied the 
three-year holding period requirement.  Accordingly, because MUMC currently is not qualified to assign 
its license, we dismiss the Assignment Application.  This finding renders moot all arguments raised by 
Mount Pisgah in its Petition to Deny the Assignment Application.
Conclusion/Actions.  Based on the above, IT IS ORDERED, that the Petition to Deny filed by Mount Pisgah 
Adventist Educational Media IS DISMISSED AS MOOT, and that the application for approval to assign the 
license for the license of Station WGNW-LP, Candler, North Carolina (File No. BAPL-20070824ABZ) from 
Montmorenci United Methodist Church to WGNW Radio Ministries, Inc. IS DISMISSED. 
Sincerely,
