Flinn, Jr., licensee of Station KWCA(FM), Channel 266A, Weaverville, California, deletes Channel 266A at Weaverville, California, from the FM Table of Allotments, allots Channel 266C3 at Palo Cedro, California as the community's first local FM service, and modifies the license of Station KWCA(FM) to specify operation on Channel 266C3 at Palo Cedro, California.
