REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted: December 5, 2012  Released: December 7, 2012
By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:
1.  The Audio Division has before it: (1)  a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (“Notice”) issued in 
response to a Petition for Rule Making filed by Georgia-Carolina Radiocasting Company, LLC 
(“Petitioner”), licensee of WSGC-FM, Tignall, Georgia;1 (2) the captioned “hybrid” application (the 
“Application”) filed by the Petitioner; and (3) supporting comments filed by the Petitioner.  For the 
reasons discussed below, we grant the Tignall Petition and the Application. 
2.  Background. The Notice proposes to amend the FM Table of Allotments, Section 73.202(b) 
of the Commission’s rules, by substituting Channel 287A for vacant Channel 244A at Tignall, Georgia, 
as part of a contingently filed “hybrid” application and rule making petition.  The purpose of the 
proposed channel substitution is to accommodate the Application, which specifies that Station WSCG-
FM operate on FM Channel 244A rather than on Channel 287A, in order to eliminate interference that 
the station currently receives from co-channel WZKQ-LP, Hodges, South Carolina. 
3.  Petitioner filed comments supporting the allotment change proposed in the Notice.    No other 
comments were received.
4.  Discussion.  We believe that the proposed channel substitution will serve the public interest, 
because it will improve reception for listeners of Station WSGC-FM, while preserving a vacant FM 
allotment at Tignall, Georgia. We therefore are granting both the Petition and the Application in this 
Report and Order.  Channel 287A can be allotted at Tignall with a site restriction of 1.5 km (0.92 miles) 
south of city reference coordinates.  The reference coordinates for Channel 287A at Tignall are: 33-59-57 
NL and 100-49-34 WL.

Company, LLC, for Station WSGC-FM, Channel 244A, Tignall, Georgia, File No. BPH-20120423AAD, 
IS GRANTED.
8.  The window period for filing applications for Channel 287A at Tignall, Georgia, will not be

the Commission in a subsequent order.
