Dear Licensee:
Central Idaho Broadcasting <"Central") is hereby notified of the modification of license
(BLH-20060908ABH) for KLER-FM, Orofino, Idaho to specify Channel 277C3.
On June 20, 2017, Blue Sky Broadcasting, Inc. ("Blue"), licensee of station KPND(FM), Deer
Park, WA filed a minor change application (BPH-20170620AAY)' requesting the substitution of
Channel 277C3 for Channel 236C3 at Orofino, Idaho and the modification of the above captioned
license.2 Section 3 16(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,3 permits us to modify
the license or construction permit if such action is in the public interest. The Act requires that we
notify the affected station of the proposed action, the public interest reasons for the action, and
afford at least 30 days to respond. Accordingly, by staff letter dated August 1, 2017, Central was
directed to show cause why its license should not be modified to specify Channel 277C3 in lieu of
Channel 236C3. As of this date, Central has not responded to the August 1, 2017 staff letter, and
thus, has consented to the channel substitution.
1 This application was granted the date of this letter.
2 The license at Orofino, Idaho can be modified to specify operation on Channel 277C3 in lieu of Channel
23 6C3 at the station's current authorized transmitter site (BLH-20060908ABH). The authorized
coordinates for the license at Orofino, ID are 46° 2W 09" N.L., 116° 16' 40" W.L.
47 U.S.C. § 316(a) (the "Act").

	

Accordingly, pursuant to the authority found in 47 U.S.C. Sections 4(i), 5(c)(1), 303(g) and (r)
and 307(b) and 47 c.F.R. Sections 0.61, 0.204(b) and 0.283, IT IS ORDERED, That effective the
date of this letter, the FM assignment IS MODIFIED as follows:

Pursuant to Section 316(a) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, license

Within 30 days of the effective date of this letter, Central shall submit to the Commission a minor
change application for construction permit (Form 301). Upon grant of the construction permit,
program tests may be conducted in accordance with Section 73.1620 of the Commission's Rules.
