REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: April 15, 2009 Released: April 17, 2009
By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:
1.  The Audio Division has before it a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking1 issued at the request of
KM Communications, Inc. (“Petitioner”), proposing the substitution of Channel 252A for vacant Channel 
292A at Cuba, Illinois.  Petitioner proposed the channel substitution to accommodate its construction 
permit application to substitute Channel 291A for Channel 252A at Abington, Illinois.  Petitioner filed 
comments reiterating its continuing interest in its rulemaking proposal.  No counterproposals were 
received in this proceeding. 
2.  We find that the public interest would be served by substituting Channel 252A for vacant 
Channel 292A at Cuba.  The foregoing channel substitution at Cuba would accommodate Petitioner’s 
construction permit application2 to substitute Channel 291A for Channel 252A at Abington, Illinois, and 
to provide for a first local aural transmission service at Abington, Illinois, under Priority 3 of the FM 
allotment priorities.3 Channel 252A can be allotted at Cuba, consistent with the technical engineering 
requirements of the Commission’s Rules at 40-25-50 North Latitude and 90-14-05 West Longitude, with 
a site restriction of 7.9 kilometers (4.9 miles) southwest of Cuba.  
 
  
1  See Cuba, Illinois, Notice of Proposed Rule Making, 22 FCC Rcd 15950 (MB 2007).     
2  See File No. BNPH-20070502AAU.  We will consider this application separately.      
3 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 Revision of FM 
Assignment Policies and Procedures, Second Report and Order, 90 FCC 2d 88 (1982), recon. denied, Memorandum 
Opinion and Order, 56 RR 2d 448 (1983).

3.  Accordingly, pursuant to the authority found in 47 U.S.C. Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r) 
and 307(b) and 47 C.F.R. Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and 0.283, IT IS ORDERED, That effective June 1, 
2009, the FM Table of Allotments, 47 C.F.R. Section 73.202(b), IS AMENDED4 for the community 
listed below, as follows:  
Community Channel No.
Cuba, Illinois 252A    
4.  A summary of this Report and Order will be published in the Federal Register because we are 
amending Section 73.202(b) of the Commission’s Rules.
5.  A filing window period for Channel 252A at Cuba, Illinois, will not be opened at this time.  
Instead, the issue of opening this allotment for auction will be addressed by the Commission in a subsequent 
order.
6.  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. 
Section 801(a)(1)(A). 
7.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the aforementioned proceeding IS TERMINATED.
8.  For further information concerning this proceeding, contact Richard B. Gorman, Media Bureau,
