(Issued September 13, 1971; Released September 17, 1971)
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
1. The application of DuPage County Broadcasting, Inc. ("Du-
Page"), requests authorization to construct and operate a new Class
II standard broadcast station on 1530 kHz at Elnhurst, Illinois. Cen-
tral DuPage County Broadcasting Company ("Central"), seeks au-
thorization for a similar broadcast facility on 1530 kHz at Wheaton,
Illinois. Each applicant proposes a daytime only operation utilizing-
a directional antenna system, DuPage with a power of 250 watts and
Central with a power of 500 watts.
2. The Commission, while finding both applicants qualified to con-
struct, own and operate the proposed facilities, designated their-
mutually exclusive applications for hearing in a consolidated proceed-
ing upon Section 307 (b) 2 and contingent standard comparative issues-
(5 FCC 2d 557). After an evidential hearing, this Hearing Examiner
issued an Initial Decision on July 23, 1968 (19 FCC 2d 259), granting-
the DuPage application upon the basis of Section 307 (b) preferen-
tial considerations and denying the Central application. Thereafter, am
1This supplemental decision deals with a remand hearing on issues specified with
respect to the application of DuPage County Broadcasting, Inc. for an Elmhurst, Illinois
station which had been recommended for grant in an Initial Decision released in July, 1968.
2 The Section 307(b) issue requires a determination, "in light of Section: 307(b) of the
Communications Act, which of the proposals would better provide a fair, efficient and(
equitable distribution of radio service".
