On November 14, 2003, the staff released a Report and Order 1 in this proceeding, reallotting and changing the community of license for Station WAFF( FM), Channel 297B, from Worcester to Westborough, Massachusetts, as requested by Entercom Boston License, LLC. 2. Footnote 7 is revised to read as follows: The coordinates for Channel 297B at Westborough are 42- 18- 11 North Latitutde and 71- 53- 52 West Longitude. While Station WAAF( FM) has an outstanding construction permit (File No. BPH-20030228JE) at Worcester, this minor modification was issued pursuant to Section 73.215 and creates short- spacings to three stations. Specifically, the construction permit for Station WAAF( FM) at Worcester is short- spaced to Stations WFHN- FM, Channel 296A, Fairhaven, MA, WFCC( FM), Channel 298B, Chatham, MA, and WERZ( FM), Channel 296A, Exeter, NH. Since Section 73.207( a) of the Rules provides that “[ t] he Commission will not accept petitions to amend the Table of Allotments unless the reference points meet all of the minimum distance separation requirements of this section,” Station WAAF( FM) ’s construction permit for Worcester may not be used at Westborough for allotment purposes. Further, consistent with the rationale of this decision set forth in paragraph 3 above and the cases cited in footnote 4, Station WAAF( FM) must implement this change of community proposal at its current licensed site. 2 1 Worcester and Westborough, Massachusetts, DA 03- 3554 (rel.
