EASTERN SIERRA BROADCASTING has been granted modification of its construction permit for KCWK-A/NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV to allow it to move the station out of LAS VEGAS to LAUGHLIN, NV, over the objection of two other applicants for the 1430 AM frequency.  The Commission ruled that despite substantially lowering the number of people covered by the facility (93% less in its nighttime contour), the Commission considered preventing "excessive concentration of radio service in larger cities" as special circumstances warranting the applicant to change its proposed service area.
 
And the Commission also rejected a petition to deny the renewal of the license of WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC RADIO noncommercial WCQS/ASHEVILLE, NC and its translators.  The ASHEVILLE CITIZEN-TIMES reports that AD HOC COMMITTEE FOR RESPONSIBLE PUBLIC RADIO, headed by retired public broadcasting executive FRED FLAXMAN, had filed the petition alleging violations of FCC laws and the Public Broadcasting Act, "radical changes" in programming, and refusal to air programs produced by independent entities such as FLAXMAN himself.
