Also, YAQUINA BAY COMMUNICATIONS, INC. has applied for an STA to operate KYTE/INDEPENDENCE, OR from its former site due to a generator failure at its licensed site.

The Commission also dismissed Applications for Review filed by RADIO ONE (URBAN ONE) challenging interference complaint remediation letters sent to INDIANA COMMUNITY RADIO CORP. regarding W275BD/GREENFIELD, IN; the Commission said that the AFRs were premature, and also dismissed REISING RADIO PARTNERS, INC.'s Motion to Dismiss as late-filed, and RADIO ONE's opposition to that motion as moot.  275BD rebroadcasts URBAN ONE's Classic Hip Hop WNOW-F-HD2 (BOOM 102.9)/SPEEDWAY-INDIANAPOLIS and the complaints alleged that the translator is interfering with REISING's Classic Hits WXCH (MOJO 102.9)/COLUMBUS, IN.

And CUMULUS LICENSING LLC has turned in the license for Classic Hits KZJF/JEFFERSON CITY, MO, moving the format to sister Oldies KJMO (COOL 97.5)/LINN-JEFFERSON CITY-COLUMBIA, MO.
