PER CURIAM.

Petitioner Winnebago, operator of a UHF station at Rockford, Illinois, seeks review of an order of the Federal Communications Commission denying, after a rule-making proceeding, proposals to amend channel assignments in Madison, Wisconsin, and Rockford. After consideration of the record in light of petitioner's contentions, we find no basis for disturbing the Commission's action. Cf. Coastal Bend Telev. Co. v. F.C.C., 1956, 98 U.S.App.D.C. 251, 234 F.2d 686; W.I.R.L. Television Co. v. U.S. (WIRL Television Co. v. %. f.c.c./) 1958, 102 U.S.App.D.C. 341, 253, F.2d 863; Springfield Television Broadcasting Corp. v. F.C.C., 104 U.S.App.D.C. , 259 F.2d 170.

Affirmed.
