SUMMARY: The Commission, in response to a counterproposal filed by 
LifeStyle Communications Corporation, proposes the allotment of Channel 
295A to Papillion, Nebraska, as the community's first local aural 
transmission service, and the substitution of Channel 299A for Channel 
295A at Plattsmouth, Nebraska. An Order to Show Cause is directed to 
Platte Broadcasting Company, Inc., licensee of Station KOTD-FM, as to

FM's licensed transmitter site, at coordinates 41-05-28 North Latitude

with a site restriction of 11.5 kilometers (7.1 miles) northeast, at 
coordinates 41-12-08; 95-55-35, to avoid a short-spacing to Stations
