NCE Tentative Selectees Named

The FCC identified tentative selectees in six groups of mutually exclusive applications for noncommercial educational FM construction permits from the November 2021 NCE window, according to a unanimously approved order Wednesday. Selectees include New Hope Baptist Church in Gallup, New Mexico. The order also rescinded a previous grant of New Media Humanity Association's application at Weeki Wachee, Florida, with Call Communications Group's reconsideration petition granted and its application reinstated. Also rescinded was a previous grant for Sound in Spirit Broadcasting's application in Burlington, Iowa, with Heritage Baptist Church tentatively selected instead. In addition, the commission rescinded a previous grant for Teleamerica Communications West Palm Beach's application in Key West, Florida, tentatively selecting instead Newland Broadcasters. Petitions to deny the applications of the selectees are due 30 days after the order.
