Dickenson County Broadcasting Corporation (``Dickenson County''), 
licensee of Station WDIC-FM, Clinchco, Virginia, and East Kentucky 
Broadcasting Corporation (``East Kentucky''), licensee of Station WPKE-
FM, Coal Run, Kentucky. The staff dismisses Dickenson County's

DATES: September 5, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Andrew J. Rhodes, Media Bureau, (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a synopsis of the Commission's 
Memorandum Opinion and Order, MB Docket No. 04-319; DA 14-1198, adopted 
August 14, 2014, and released August 15, 2014. The full text of this 
Commission decision is available for inspection and copying during 
normal business hours in the FCC Reference Information Center (Room CY-
A257), 445 12th Street, SW., Washington, DC. The complete text of this 
decision may also be purchased from the Commission's copy contractor,

    The Reconsideration Decision in this proceeding reinstated and 
granted a Petition for Rule Making filed by East Kentucky, upgrading 
its Station WPKE-FM, Coal Run, from Channel 276A to Channel 221C3 at a 
new transmitter site. To accommodate the Station WPKE-FM upgrade, the 
Reconsideration Decision involuntarily modified the license for 
Dickenson County's Station WDIC-FM, Clinchco, to specify operation on 
Channel 276A in lieu of Channel 221A. See 76 FR 44279, July 25, 2011. 
Dickenson had filed an Application for Review of the Reconsideration 
Decision.
    The staff finds that the settlement would serve the public interest 
because it would resolve a proceeding that has been pending for ten 
years. The staff also finds that the settlement complies with Sec.  
1.420(j) of the Commission's rules.
    In order to implement the settlement, the staff modifies the Media 
Bureau's Consolidated Data Base System to reflect as the reserved 
assignments for the listed stations: (1) Channel 276A in lieu of 
Channel 221C3 at Coal Run, Kentucky, for Station WPKE-FM, and (2) 
Channel 221A in lieu of Channel 276A at Clinchco, Virginia, for Station 
WDIC-FM. The staff also rescinded the Reconsideration Decision. 
Finally, as part of this settlement, the staff concurrently approves 
the dismissal of Dickenson County's Petition to Deny directed against 
the WPKE-FM license renewal application and East Kentucky's objection 
to the WDIC-FM license renewal application.
    The Commission will not send a copy of the Memorandum Opinion and 
Order pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S. C. 
801(a)(1)(A), because the Commission is not adopting any rules in the 
proceeding.

Federal Communications Commission.

Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau.
