Media Bureau Names 19 Tentative Selectees From NCE Window

The FCC Media Bureau identified tentative selectees in 19 groups of mutually exclusive (MX) applications for noncommercial educational FM construction permits from the November NCE window, said a public notice Friday. The selectees include Good News Broadcasting Group’s application for Pinon, Arizona; San Tan Educational Media’s application for Alma, Colorado; and Krh Educational Foundation’s application for Liberal, Kansas. The bureau made the choices using an analysis based on which applicant would provide a first or second NCE radio station to at least 10% of the population in the proposed service area if the service area has at least 2,000 people, and favors the applicant serving the most people, the PN said. Petitions to deny the applications of the selectees are due 30 days after the order is published in the Federal Register.
