§  27.1206   Geographic Service Area.

   (a) The Geographic Service Area (GSA) is either:

   (1) The area for incumbent site-based licensees that is bounded by a
   circle having a 35 mile radius and centered at the station's reference
   coordinates, which was the previous PSA entitled to incumbent licensees
   prior to January 10, 2005, and is bounded by the chord(s) drawn between
   intersection points of the licensee's previous 35 mile PSA and those of
   respective adjacent market, co-channel licensees; or:

   (2) The BTA that is licensed to the respective BRS BTA authorization
   holder subject to the exclusion of overlapping, co-channel incumbent
   GSAs as described in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.

   (b) If the license for an incumbent BRS station cancels or is
   forfeited, the GSA area of the incumbent station shall dissolve and the
   right to operate in that area automatically reverts to the GSA licensee
   that held the corresponding BTA.
