REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted:  April 2, 2012 Released:  April 2, 2012  
By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:
1.  The Audio Division considers herein the Notice of Proposed Rule Making and Order to Show 
Cause,1 issued in response to a Petition for Rule Making (“Petition”)  filed by  KM Radio of 
Independence, LLC (“KM”), licensee of Station KQMG-FM, Independence, Iowa.  KM submitted its 
Petition as part of a “hybrid” proposal,2 in conjunction with an application seeking to modify the channel, 
location, and community of license for Station KQMG-FM, Independence, Iowa.3 For the reasons 
discussed below, we dismiss the Petition, and we dismiss the Order to Show Cause as moot.
2.  Background.  The Notice and OSC propose the allotment of Channel 238A at Mineral Point, 
Wisconsin, as its first local service.  To accommodate the proposed Mineral Point allotment, the Notice 
and OSC propose the substitution of reserved Channel *254A for reserved vacant Channel *238A, at 
Asbury, Iowa.  The proposed Asbury channel substitution also would accommodate the contingent 
Application for the substitution of Channel 236A for Channel 237A at Independence, Iowa, the 
reallotment of Channel 236A from Independence, to Solon, Iowa, and the modification of the license of 
Station KQMG-FM to reflect those changes.  The Notice and OSC further direct Maquoketa Broadcasting 
to show cause why the license of Station KMAQ(FM), Maquoketa, Iowa, should not be changed to 
specify operation on  Channel 237A rather than Channel 236A.  While this rule making proceeding was 
pending, the staff dismissed the Application by letter dated November 30, 2011.  On January 4, 2012, KM 
submitted a petition for reconsideration of the dismissal of its Application, and that petition for 
reconsideration is being denied by letter issued simultaneously with this Report and Order.

3.  Discussion. Under the Commission’s rules, the Petition and Application are treated as 
contingent filings.  The dismissal of any component filing requires the dismissal of all the related filings.4  
Because the Application has been dismissed, we therefore also dismiss KM’s Petition for Rule Making.  
For the same reason, we dismiss as moot the Order to Show Cause issued to Maquoketa Broadcasting.
4. Ordering Clauses. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That the Petition for Rule Making, RM-
11390, filed by KM Radio of Independence, LLC, IS DISMISSED.
5.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the Order to Show Cause directing Maquoketa 
Broadcasting to show cause why Station KMAQ(FM)’s license should not be changed to specify 
operation on Channel 237A at Maquoketa, Iowa, IS DISMISSED AS MOOT. 
6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That this proceeding IS TERMINATED.
