REPORT AND ORDER
(Proceeding Terminated)
Adopted:  January 8, 2015 Released:  January 9, 2015
By the Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau:
1. The Audio Division has before it a Notice of Proposed Rule Making,1 issued in response 
to a Petition for Rule Making (“Petition”) filed by Chris Samples Broadcasting, Inc. (“Petitioner”), licensee 
of Station KXDJ(FM), Channel 252C2, Spearman, Texas.  We also have before us, Petitioner’s “hybrid” 
application2 (the “Application”).  Petitioner filed Comments and Further Comments.  Tejas Broadcasting 
Ltd., LLC, (“Tejas Broadcasting”), licensee of Station KICA-FM, Channel 252C1, Farwell, Texas filed 
Comments.  No counterproposals or other comments were received in response to the Notice.  For the 
reasons discussed below, we grant the Petition and Application.
2. Background.  The Notice proposed to amend the FM Table of Allotments, Section 
73.202(b) of the Commission’s Rules, by substituting Channel 221A for vacant Channel 252A at 
Silverton, Texas.  This channel substitution accommodates the Application, requesting to upgrade the 
facilities of Station KXDJ(FM) from Channel 252C2 to Channel 252C1 at Spearman, Texas.  Petitioner 
filed Comments supporting the Petition.  Petitioner states that the substitution of Channel 221A at 
Silverton would permit Station KXDJ(FM) to provide enhanced service to the community of Spearman.  
Moreover, Petitioner states that it will expeditiously implement the upgrade of Station KXDJ(FM) upon 
grant of the Petition.  
3. Tejas Broadcasting filed Comments and Petitioner filed Further Comments, stating that 
Station KICA-FM is short-spaced with vacant Channel 252A at Silverton pursuant to Section 73.215 of 
the Commission’s Rules.3 Tejas Broadcasting and Petitioner contend that the proposed change of the 
Silverton allotment to Channel 221A would serve the public interest because it will eliminate the 73.215 
restriction and allow Station KICA-FM to potentially increase power and improve service.   
4. Discussion. We find that the channel substitution at Silverton, Texas would be in the 
public interest because it would accommodate the Application and eliminate the Station KICA-FM 
73.215 short-spacing.  A staff engineering analysis indicates that Channel 221A can be allotted to
