KMOD (now KFIV) Modesto; KTUR, Turlock; KTIP, Porters-
ville; KBMX, Coalinga; and KPMC, Bakersfield) serve 1-25 per-
cent. The minimum number of services in any part of the proposed
interference-free contour is 7 and the maximum is 19.
Interference within 0.5-mv./m. contour
11. The proposed Golden station will receive objectionable inter-
ference within its normally protected 0.5 mv./m. contour from station
KBOX (970 kc., 1 kw., DA-2, U), Modesto, Calif. This interference
area will encompass 61 square miles, within which there is a popula-
tion of 823 persons. This interference area is approximately 50 miles
northwest of Fresno and is east of Merced, Calif., and now receives
primary service of 0.5 mv./m. or better from not more than 17 sta-
tions, including stations KYOS and KWIP, Merced, and KMJ,
KFIB, and KFRE, Fresno.
12. The proposed Golden station will receive interference within
its normally protected 0.5-mv./m. contour from station KBIS (970
kc., 1 kw., DA-2, U), Bakersfield, Calif. This interference will en-
compass an area of 43 square miles, within which there is a popula-
tion of 3,198 persons. This interference area is approximately 39
miles southeast of Fresno and is east of Tulare and south of Visalia,
and now receives primary service of 0.5 mv./m. or better from 15
stations, including stations KCOK, Tulare; KONG, Visalia; and
KMJ, KBIF, and KFRE, Fresno.
13. From the 2 preceding paragraphs, it is seen that the proposed
Golden operation will receive interference from 2 adjacent channel
stations over a total of 104 square miles, within which there is a popu-
lation of 4,021 persons, constituting 1.8 and 1.14 percent, respectively,
of the area and population within the normally protected 0.5 mv./m.
daytime contour.
Interference to existing stations
14. Operating as proposed, the Golden station will cause inter-
ference within the normally protected contour of adjacent channel
station KBOX (970 kc., 1 kw., DA-2, U), Modesto, Calif. Station
KBOX now receives objectionable interference from station KBIS,
Bakersfield, Calif. The KBIS interference zone overlaps part of the
area in which the proposed Golden station will cause objectionable
interference to station KBOX. The proposed Golden operation would
cause an additional loss of service within the present interference-
free contour of station KBOX, embracing an area of 43 square miles,
within which there is a population of 616 persons, representing 0.44
percent of the area and 0.14 percent of the population within the
present interference-free daytime contour of station KBOX. The
present interference-free contour of station KBOX encompasses an
area of 9,880 square miles, within which 433,554 persons reside. This
interference area, located immediately adjacent to the existing KBIS
interference area, is approximately 45 miles southeast of Modesto and
east of Merced, Calif., and now receives primary service of 0.5 mv./m.
or better from 16 standard broadcast stations, including stations
KYOS and KWIP, Merced, and KMJ, Fresno. The area to be lost
