WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Two AM stations lost their licenses this week after being silent for more than a year. KGPL, Dermott AR, owned by KXSA Radio, Inc., has been silent since 1993. Prather -Breck Broadcasting's KRDG, Redding, CA has been dark since November, 1994.

The Commission has extended the comment and reply date regarding its rule making proposal for new EEO rules or policies. Twenty petitioners filed a motion to extend the comment period to July 31 from July 1, 1996 because they are doing "extensive research on broadcast stations' EEO practices" and staff shortages cause it to be "physically impossible to complete this task by July 1. Comments are due by July 31, replies August 12. The Commission's EEO forfeiture schedule was vacated on February 8, 1996.

Texas Coast Broadcasters, Inc., licensee of KNUZ and KQUE, Houston will have to cough up $18,500 for alleged EEO violations, including poor recruitment efforts and record -keeping. The FCC claims the station didn't respond to the Notice of Apparent Liability issued February 6. There is a sale pending on the two stations to SFX Broadcasting.

The Commission has denied an NAACP petition for reconsideration of a decision to fine Eagle Broadcasting's WHCU and WYXL, Ithaca, NY $6,250 and impose reporting conditions for EEO self- assessment violations. The NAACP wanted a license renewal hearing, which was denied as the Commission found the NAACP had not demonstrated that the original decision contained a material error or omission.




WASHINGTON THIS WEEK (cont'd) The Emergency Broadcast System Advisory Committee has new life after being renamed as the National Advisory Committee. The committee's charter was amended as a result of the new Emergency Alerting System. Committee membership is appointed by the FCC for two year terms representing broadcasting, cable TV, satellite, multipoint distribution service, the non -English speaking and hearing and seeing impaired, state and federal agencies, FEMA, and the National Weather Service.

The NAB has come out in opposition to an FCC Rulemaking Proposal that would put an expanded burden on broadcasters to solve blanketing problems. The Commission has proposed to modify and extend the blanketing interference rules for television stations. NAB asks that the Commission put the responsibility on equipment manufacturers who "should adhere to more stringent standards." In the press release, the NAB goes on to say, "To ask broadcasters to compensate for the inadequacies of the interfered with equipment would be 'unreasonable''. The NAB also believes that since television is converting to digital broadcasting and there have not been enough complaints to warrant any action, there's no reason to adopt new rules.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK

The Commission has canceled the license of Clarence E. Jones' WMNY, Elloree, SC. The station has been silent since 1994. Red River Broadcasting's KMOA (AM), Kensett, AR no longer has a license after being silent since 1993. Oakhill- Jackson Economic Development Corp.'s KOJC (FM), Cedar Rapids, IA also lost its license after being silent longer than one year. Sidney Broadcasters' KGCX and KGCH -FM, Sidney, MT have also been revoked since both have been silent since August, 1993. Davel Broadcasting Group's KLZE (FM), Owensville, MO is gone after being silent since September, 1994.

Diamond State Broadcasting, Inc.'s KCCL, Paris, AR has been designated for hearing to show cause why its license should not be revoked. It's been cff the air since February of 1993. Great American Broadcasting of Hutchinson, Inc.'s KWHK (AM), Hutchinson, KS has been designated for hearing as well.

Tidewater Communications' WNOR -AM & FM, Norfolk, VA and WAFX, Suffolk, VA have been renewed subject to reporting conditions and a $15,000 fine for EEO violations. Tidewater unsuccessfully argued that a recent Supreme Court decision addressing the constitutionality of a race -based preference program makes the Commission's EEO rules unconstitutional. The case, Adarand Constructors, Inc. v. Pena, 515 U.S. -- 115S.Ct. 2097 (1995) held that where questions arise as to a violation of the personal right to equal protection of the laws as a result of such programs, courts should evaluate such challenges by invoking a review method known as "strict scrutiny," where racial classifications are constitutional only if they are narrowly tailored that further a "compelling governmental interest." The Commission found that the preference program in that case is different because the EEO rule doesn't require that any person be hired based on race.

Evergreen Media's WTOP, Washington DC has had its fine reduced from $5,000 to $3,000 for sponsor- identification violations. The station claimed that a tag line on the spot was enough to satisfy the rules and that the sponsor's name "would not have been informative to listeners." The Commission disagreed but reduced the fine because of the station's history of compliance.

A translator for Moody Bible Institute of Chicago has been canceled by the Commission. The translator served the Winnemucca, NV area on 88.1 MHz.

The Mass Media Bureau's Enforcement Division has been reorganized and consolidated to, "improve efficiency, reduce levels of review, and increase flexibility of staffing so as to better respond to shifts in workload and provide the staff with a wider range of experience." In other words, more work for everyone as the Complaints and Investigations, Political Programming, and Hearing Branches are consolidated into the "Complaints and Political Programming Branch." The restructuring is effective immediately.

NEW YORK NASHVILLE

EVERGREEN GETS THE POINT . Evergreen Media is dropping $68 million to trade up in Chicago with the purchase of AC outlet WPNT -FM from Century Broadcasting Corp. Evergreen, which already owns its legal limit of stations in the market, plans to sell off urban class A WEJM -FM, licensed to Lansing, IL to offset most of the purchase price, although it will be tough to recover that kind of dough for a suburban class A. WPNT -FM is a full class B. Evergreen Chairman Scott Ginsburg says the purchase, "upgrades Evergreen's FM holdings so that all of our signals are full power."

BROWN OUT IN SEATTLE . . . Sandusky Radio is buying another station in the Seattle market, bringing its total there to five. It will spend $29.25 million on Brown Broadcasting's soft AC KRWM, Bremerton, WA. Sandusky already owns standards KIXI, Mercer Island and AC KLSY -FM, Bellevue and recently purchased Park's business news KEZX and jazz KWJZ. Peter Handy of Star Media brokered the deal.

American Family Association has a bit of a dilemma in Bentonville, AR. AFA has (well, uh, had) a construction permit for a new station there. It's even been granted the call letters KAPG. The grant has been rescinded and returned to pending status after a competing applicant successfully petitioned the Commission to reconsider the grant. Its application got lost on the desk of a Commission staffer after the blizzard earlier this year buried the FCC in paperwork. The allocation must now go to hearing to decide who will win the frequency.

Commissioner Susan Ness has a new legal advisor. She's Anita L. Wallgren, who will assist on mass media and cable television issues, as well as other areas. Wallgren was most recently VP /Legal & Business Affairs for SW Networks in New York.

VEW YORK NASHVILLE

AAAA CONCERNED ABOUT RADIO. . . Radio mergers facilitated by the Telecommunications Act have ruffled some feathers at the American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA). The organization that claims to be responsible for 80% of national advertising says the new rules may distort advertising prices, "thereby undermining the diversity of programming available to the public." The organization wants to see the FCC develop conditions that would prohibit monopoly pricing, require owners offer unbundled pricing on all owned stations, and prohibit cross -station makegoods. The AAAA says Jacor Broadcasting's pending purchases in Tampa and Cincinnati seem to be going down the right path as Jacor has said they'll keep the sales staffs separate.

CAPSTAR TAKES THE FAST- TRACK. . . Steven Hicks' Capstar Broadcasting Partners, backed by his brother Tom Hicks, has announced plans to acquire Frank Osborn's Osborn Communications for just over $100 million. The cash deal has Capstar picking up Osborn's outstanding stock at $15.375 per share for 17 stations in six markets: Dayton, OH; Ft. Myers, FL; Asheville, NC; Wheeling, WV; Gadsden, AL; and Jackson, TN. No mention of what happens to the purchase option for WING -FM, Springfield, OH (Dayton), presently in an LMA with Great Trails Broadcasting's WING and WGTZ. Also in question is Osborn's half- interest in WDRR, Carlos Park, FL (Ft. Myers). The deal brings to 50 the number of stations Capstar has agreed to acquire after announcing it will buy Commodore Media earlier this month. Frank Osborn will stay on with the new venture.

(Dismissed at petitioner's request.)


Westinghouse and Infinity Broadcasting filed papers with the FCC and the Justice Department hoping to entice them into approving the $4.9 billion merger. The papers outline a plan to sell two Chicago radio stations to minority owners and add on -air radio "Parents' Program Guides" for CBS' educational television programming schedule that will air on the company's radio stations. Westinghouse /Infinity claim the radio guides will be heard by over 850 million radio listeners each year. The new group has not disclosed which stations in Chicago will be sold nor who the minority broadcasters might be.

The FCC's 1996 fee schedule has been released. It's no surprise that most fees are up from last year. Here's the radio list:

AM Class A AM Class B AM Class C AM Class D AM CP's FM Classes C, Cl, C2, B FM Classes C3, B1, A FM CP's FM Translators /Boosters

$1,250 690 280 345 140

1,250 830 690 190

EEO problems will cost Emmis Broadcasting's WCDJ, Boston $15,000 and reporting conditions. Emmis had record -keeping problems that originally cost $18,750. The Commission dropped the fine down after reviewing the-station's compliance record. The same problems for Benchmark's WTAR /WLTY -FM, Norfolk, VA and WKOC, Chesapeake, VA will cost $12,000 and reporting conditions.

ELSEWHERE

American Radio Systems strikes again, this time in the Fresno market. It will buy Osborn Communications' country combo of KNAX and KRBT for $11 million, bringing its total stations in that market to five. It already has country KSKS, classic rocker KKDJ, and news /talk KMJ. The LMA begins August 1.

Nationwide Communications is planning to pick up classic rock KGB and standards KPOP from Brown Broadcasting in the San Diego market. The acquisition gives Nationwide three stations there as it owns classical KFSD. The LMA begins soon.

A duopoly grows in Champaign- Urbana as a local group Liberty Radio II buys rocker WHZT, Mahomet, IL for $900,000 from Odyssey Broadcasting. Liberty owns CHR WQQB and rocker WZNF, both Rantoul, IL. The LMA begins immediately, and the deal is expected to close this fall.

In a July 19 meeting, the National Public Radio Board approved major revenue and distribution initiatives. The Board also authorized the establishment of a task force to oversee a one -year Internet experiment set to begin October 1, 1996. During the experiment, NPR member stations will be permitted to distribute national programming, such as Morning Edition and All Things Considered from their Internet sites. The Board authorized adoption of the Rural Station Discount Policy, which will enable stations who provide the only NPR service to small populations and meet certain financial qualifications to receive a discount of 70% for fiscal year 1997 which changes to 65% thereafter.

Interep Research released a presentation entitled "What About Radio," which focuses on the benefits and unique features of radio, in comparison to and in conjunction with other media.

COAST -TO -COAST WITH ARS. . . American Radio Systems is still on a buying spree. It picked up two stations in Worcester, MA, two in Fresno, and three in Sacramento.

CBC AND DISNEY WON'T PLAY TOGETHER. . . Disney -owned ABC Radio is getting out of its barely -off -the- ground joint venture with Chris Dahl's Children's Broadcasting Corp. in order to launch its own children's web. Dahl, in a press release, stated ABC's intention "presented a conflict for Disney /ABC." ABC was to provide advertising and affiliate sales, research, marketing, and promotion to CBC. ABC's test of a 24 -hour kids format should be in a couple of major markets by the end of this year. Just days before the announcement, CBC, in a press release, said ". . . it was an appropriate time to examine all opportunities to benefit the company and its shareholders." It has retained Southcoast Capitol Corp. to ". . .

study a number of alternatives including possible joint venture opportunities, a sale or a merger."
