a petition filed by Paradis Broadcasting of Marshall. Inc. 
("petitioner"). Petitioner filed comments reiterating its 
interest in Channel 298C3 at Marshall. No other com­
ments were received.

298C3 at Marshall is short spaced to the applications for 
Channel 297A, Sleepy Eye. Minnesota. it is fully spaced 
to the allotment site at Sleepy Eye. The applicants for 
Channel 297A, Sleeply Eye, will be permitted to amend 
their applications to specify new sites and will retain 
cut-off protection.2 We will authorize a modification of 
petitioner's license for Station KBJJ(FM), Marshall. Min­
nesota. to specify operation on Channel 298C3 in accor­
dance with Section 1.420(g) of the Commission's Rules.
