Specifically, because Hemlock is not located inside the Saginaw, MI, Urbanized Area and because the station will not place a city-grade signal over 50 percent or more of that Urbanized Area, a Tuck showing was not required to demonstrate that Hemlock is sufficiently independent of the Saginaw Urbanized Area to warrant a first local service preference.
