And WILLIAM JEWELL COLLEGE has requested a Silent STA for KWJC/LIBERTY, MO due to a loss of programming.

Also, the FCC has reinstated FAMILY STATIONS' construction permit for a new FM translator in EL CAJON, CA for Religion KECR-A/EL CAJON-SAN DIEGO, rejecting an Informal Objection from POSITIVE HOPE INC., licensee of low power FM KVIB-LP/SAN DIEGO.

FAMILY STATIONS won its bid for the EL CAJON translator in FCC Auction 100, but its application was dismissed due to interference concerns. It then filed for a new frequency and reinstatement of its application, while POSITIVE HOPE filed a competing modification application to move KVIB-LP three days later, and that application was dismissed; POSITIVE HOPE then filed its objection to the dismissal. In its ruling, the FCC said that FAMILY STATIONS had made the requisite showing of interference to justify the frequency change, and that POSITIVE HOPE had not raised any basis for dismissing FAMILY STATION's application nor reconsidering the dismissal of its own application.
