WASHINGTON THIS WEEK Hometown Media, Inc.'s WAYB, Waynesboro, VA has been granted their license renewal subject to resumption of operations by 1/15/97. It's been silent since May, 1995.

L. T. and Raymond Simes' KZOT(AM), Marianna, AR is designated for hearing by the Commission due to its silent status. KZOT has been off the air since February 20, 1989 when the previous licensee suspended operations pursuant to a bankruptcy proceeding. The station was transferred from its trustee to Simes, conditioned upon the resumption of station operations within 60 days of the transaction which was consummated, in March, 1993. The station has 20 days to file a written appearance stating an intention to appear on the date fixed for hearing to present evidence.

Also ordered to file a written appearance within 30 days, to show cause why the stations license should not be revoked, is Group Communications, Inc.'s KRGQ(AM), West Valley City, UT. The station suspended operations on January 31, 1995 when the station was evicted from its transmitter site. Group informed the Commission of the problem and was granted permission to remain silent through May 13, 1995. Several additional extensions have been granted. However, no application has been filed in the last five months, the station is not authorized to remain silent and has not demonstrated that causes beyond its control prevented the expeditious resumption of broadcast operations.

The renewal of license for WKZF -FM, Inc.'s WKZF(FM), Bayboro, NC has been denied by the Commission which concluded that absent a modification of facilities, WKZF cannot return the station to air and it is the Commission's policy not to process modification applications of silent stations that have been designated for hearing. WKZF has been off the air since July 24, 1993 when the previous licensee, Carolina Community Broadcasting, Inc. suspended operations for financial reasons. The station was then assigned to Sunbelt Media, Inc. and then to WKZF- FM, Inc. On August 14, WKZF -FM, Inc. filed its renewal application reporting that the station was still off the air and their intent to apply for the C3 allocation. No application implementing the C3 upgrade had been filed by any of the approved licenses since the Commission's action in August, 1992 and WKZF -FM neither notified the Commission that it resumed broadcast operations nor indicated that it had made any progress in implementing the C3 allocation. To no avail, WKZF -FM claimed that it was prepared to have the station back on the air within 60 -90 days of the Commission's pending modification application and that it had held the license for only 16 months and should not be responsible for the failures of the previous licensees. To do so would cause innocent creditors to loose their entire investment. WKZF also claims it had no representation by an attorney at that time

The Commission granted license renewals for KWKH(AM) /KWKH -FM, Shreveport, LA, concluding that there was no evidence of employment discrimination and that the renewal grants would serve the public interest. However, the stations are subject to reporting conditions and a forfeiture in the amount of $16,500 for not contacting outside sources for 15 of 27 full -time positions from May 1, 1993 to May 1, 1996.




WASHINGTON THIS WEEK (cont'd) Saddleback Community College, licensee of noncommercial station KSBR(FM), Mission Viejo, CA was denied review by the Commission of a returned application to increase its ERP from 500 watts ND to 1800 watts DA, at a HAAT of 590 ft. The application created two prohibited areas of overlap with first -adjacent channel station KSPC(FM), Claremont, CA and second -adjacent channel KUCI(FM), Irvine, CA. Opposition was filed by California State University's KCSN(FM), Northridge CA. Saddleback contends that the letter the FCC wrote with the returned application contained several errors. It claimed that Saddleback had failed to provide the population gained within its proposed 60 dBu contour and it was not given notice of the Commission's standards for waiving the section. According to Saddleback, the Commission didn't demonstrate why it would not be appropriate to hold a hearing to determine where the public interest lies. The Commission claims a hearing is not appropriate for an amendment found unacceptable for filing.

Stephen E. Powell's petition for reconsideration of cancellation of the construction permit and deletion of WRHF(FM), Farmington, NH was denied. The Commission denied the petition because Powell failed to file his second request for extension of time to construct within the thirty -day period required by statute and that Powell has not demonstrated that his failure to do so was due to extraordinary circumstances. Powell claims he did not receive a June letter requesting more information and first learned of the action when he read about it in the M Street Journal on July 19, 1995, two days after the deadline for filing a petition.

The Commission denied Kin Shaw Wong's application for extension of the CP for unbuilt station KPTO (AM), Citrus Heights, CA, modification of its facilities, and assignment of the CP to Rene de la Rosa. The CP was cancelled and call sign deleted. Royce International Broadcasting, licensee of station KWOD(AM), Sacramento, CA challenged Wong's requests. Wong argues that zoning problems and interference protection requirements precluded him from building the station and that the Commission is ignoring the substantial financial investment he made in securing the CP site and the Commission's commitment to fostering increased minority ownership of radio stations. The Bureau found that Wong had not made substantial progress toward constructing the station, his financial outlay was primarily for a site and he was refunded deposits that he made for equipment and failure to complete the station was not due to circumstances beyond his control. The Commission claims that a permittee's minority status has no relevance to justify an extension of time to construct which must meet the following three criteria: (1) construction is complete and testing underway, (2) substantial progress has been made; or (3) no progress has been made for reasons clearly beyond the control of the permittee and steps have been taken to resolve the problem and proceed with construction.

Granite Broadcasting Corp. has been granted a waiver of the Commission's one -to -a- market rule in the Peoria -Bloomington DMA, and is seeking to acquire WIVR(FM), Eureka, IL, from Illinois Valley Broadcasters. WIVR(FM) is a Class A station operating on 98.5 MHz with 3000 watts at 328 ft. HAAT. Granite already owns WEEK - TV there. Granite successfully argued that joint operation will result in considerable annual savings and will be used to improve WIVR's facilities and enhance public service and news programming. Granite also said since it is minority -owned and controlled, the proposed combination will promote diversity in programming sources and viewpoints and the proposed combination will not create any concentration of ownership or control of the broadcast media in the market. The sale may not be consummated until such time as the Commission has acted upon the pending renewal application for WIVR.

The Commission denied submission under seal a letter from counsel for the Southern Region of the National Rainbow Coalition questioning compliance with EEO Rules against Sandab Communications Limited Partnership II's WTTB(AM) & WGYL(FM), Vero Beach, FL. Rainbow motioned to vacate grant of the renewals, which were granted on July 22, 1996, and hold in abeyance the assignment of licenses to Fairbanks Communications, Inc. The letter requests that the Commission receive and review without disclosure to the public or parties to the applications a further letter and ten exhibits which Rainbow alleges contain pertinent information. Rainbow claims "public disclosure of the matters would compromise a pending federal criminal inquiry." After reviewing the evidence, the Commission found that Rainbow failed to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that confidentiality is justified.




WASHINGTON THIS WEEK (cont'd) On February 8, 1996, the Commission adopted an Order and Notice of Proposed Rule Making which vacated the Commission's EEO Forfeiture Policy Statement and requested comments on proposals for amending the EEO Rule and policies. On April 12, twenty organizations, including the Minority Media and Telecommunications Council filed a Motion for Extension of Time to file comments in response to the proceeding. The Commission has since granted several requests for extension of time due to various difficulties that have delayed completion of comments and ordered a further extension to October 25 for filing comments on the matter.

ELSEWHERE Odyssey Communications is giving up one of its Los Angeles market stations. It will sell brokered KWIZ -FM, Santa Ana to Liberman Broadcasting for $11.2 million. Liberman also owns Spanish -programmed KWIZ (AM), Santa Ana; KKHJ, L.A.; KBUE, Long Beach; all in the L.A. market. Odyssey retains its "Southern California's Modern Rock" network of KLYY, Arcadia (serving L.A.); KSYY, Fallbrook (serving San Diego north county); and KVYY, Oxnard, (serving Oxnard- Ventura). All of the stations are on 107.1 MHz. Elliot Evers of Media Venture Partners brokered the deal. This sale is reuniting KWIZ (AM) and KWIZ -FM.

Pinnacle Broadcasting is buying another combo in the Myrtle Beach market -- country WYAK, Surfside Beach and 70's oldies WMYB, Socastee --from Multi- Market Radio for $5.125 million. Pinnacle owns classic rocker WYAV, Conway and talker WRNN, Murrell's Inlet. Country WVCO, Loris, SC, presently in an LMA with WYAK and WMYB, was not mentioned in the deal. Paul Leonard of Star Media Group brokered the deal.

Hemisphere Broadcasting is doubling up in the Bakersfield market with the purchase of contemporary Christian combo KHIS -AM & FM for $2.65 million from International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, Inc. Hemisphere owns dance KKXX -FM, Delano, CA and rocker KRAB, Green Acres, CA as well as stations in Fresno, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Maria.

Lou Mercatanti's Nassau Broadcasting Partners is buying another New Jersey combo. It's picking up Great Scott Broadcasting's news /talk WTTM and religion WCHR, both Trenton for $20 million. Nassau already owns CHR -new rock WPST, Trenton, and soft AC WHWH, Princeton. Dan Gammon of Americom brokered the deal.

Children's Broadcasting Corp. is suing ABC Radio Networks and its parent, the Walt Disney Company, after the two companies parted ways. ABC Radio was providing marketing and sales support for Chris Dahl's children's network since 1995. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis, seeks damages for ". . .alleged deliberate attempts to misappropriate CBC's unique radio programming format and force CBC out of the children's radio market." CBC claims that ABC used their relationship to pick up confidential information to start their own network.

Bob Sillerman is having to up the ante in his bid to take over majority control of Multi- Market Radio. Sillerman's company, SFX Broadcasting, will guarantee a minimum of $12.50 per share to MMR shareholders, as long as SFX class A common stock trades between $32.00 and $44.00 per share. Sillerman hopes to settle a lawsuit filed by MMR shareholders over the valuation of the stock with this action.

NEW YORK N 1SII 'Il LE HARDER'S NETWORK NOT SO UNITED. . . Chuck Harder is suing Reform Party VP candidate Pat Choate's former company, United Broadcasting Network, after he claims the purchase failed to meet closing deadlines. Harder claims UBN drove him off the air, fired employees, and failed to close twice on the $3.5 million purchase of his People's Network. Harder is suing for control of the network and his on -air slot after he took an extended vacation in September and has not been back on the air since. Harder claims the deal was to be financed by the pension fund of the United Auto Workers union. UBN claims it has planned to close on the purchase all along.

WE'LL BE SLEEPING BETTER TONIGHT. . . The Commission announced it has complied with Clinton's plan to eliminate at least half of all internal regulations in the Executive Branch of the government. Executive Order #12861 directed each executive department and agency to eliminate 50% of its civilian internal management regulations that are not required by law within three years. After review, as of September 11, 1996, the Commission has eliminated 77 directives (67 %) and revised 10 others resulting in a reduction of 1,773 pages (57 %). Examples of the reduction include converting the "Time, Leave and Attendance Manual" to a simple handout and eliminating "Performance of Commercial Activities" because it duplicated other publications.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK

The Commission is looking for comments on eliminating the newspaper /broadcast cross -ownership rule as it applies to radio. The rule, adopted in 1975, prohibits common ownership of the two if the station encompasses the entire community in which the newspaper is published. Most cases that existed before 1975 were grandfathered, and the rule was created to prevent new combos to maintain a diversity of media voices.

Anticipating that there would be situations where a waiver may be justified, the Commission decided to adopt standards to analyze each request. First, the Commission stated that inability to sell the station would constitute a basis for a waiver. Second, proof that the only sale possible would be at an artificially depressed price; third, proof that the separate ownership and operation could not be supported in the locality and finally, proof that the purposes of the rule would be disserved by its application. Only a few requests have been granted; most have been temporary.

The Commission wanted to revise the rule, but has been precluded from doing so because Congress wouldn't spend the money necessary to reconsider the rules. However, since the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the FCC now has the authority to reconsider the rule, but is looking for comment on which issues should be looked at. Some issues are whether the waiver should be based on number of voices and market size? Should both radio and television station be included as voices? Should only commercial radio stations be counted as voices as contained in the radio duopoly rule? Should geographic areas be redefined? How will the service affect suburban communities? Should radio metro markets be used instead of Television DMA's? Does a station completely have to cover the market or are signal contour overlaps considered in any portion of the relevant market? How will the change affect competition?

If you'd like to comment, file an original plus six copies of all comments, or if you want each Commissioner to receive a personal copy, you must file an original plus eleven copies by January 8, 1997. Send your comments to Office of the Secretary, FCC, 1919 M Street, NW Washington, DC 20554.

The Supreme Court set aside a ruling that upheld as constitutional a federal law barring the broadcast of radio and television advertisements for casino gambling. The law prohibits advertising for any "lottery, gift enterprise or similar scheme offering prizes dependent ... upon lot or chance." The law had been challenged by a number of TV and radio stations in New Orleans.

Consumers in Arizona, District of Columbia, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas and Washington are now able to reach the FCC National Call Center by calling (888) CALL -FCC.

Arbitron is adding questions to the diaries that will allow it to offer a new qualitative service profiling lifestyles and media behavior of a station's audience. Billing it as a service to "small market" broadcasters, the research service will be available to stations in 128 markets with the Spring, 1997 survey. Most of the markets are ranked below #100. The questions to be added are a direct result of a survey of station owners in markets smaller than #100, asking for more qualitative information. The complete qualitative database will be delivered through Maximiser.

Western Cities Broadcasting's dance KQKS, Longmont, CO (Denver) will sell to Jefferson -Pilot for an undisclosed price. Jeff -Pilot now owns three FM's and two AM's there, including sports KKFN; classic country KYGO (AM), Lakewood; country KYGO -FM, Denver; and CHR KHHT, Lakewood, CO. The LMA begins immediately.

Ingstad will retain classic rocker KKRO, but it will begin an SMA with the new entity immediately. LMA's on the rest also begin now.

Commodore Media is filling out in the Ft. Pierce /Vero Beach, FL area by purchasing Indian River Shores Partners' standards -formatted WOSN, Indian River Shores.

The Southern Region of the National Rainbow Coalition filed opposition to the license renewal for Downs Satellite Broadcasting of South Carolina, Inc.'s WJXY AM & FM in Conway, SC. Rainbow alleges that the licensee violated EEO rules and policies. The licensee denies Rainbow's allegations and claims documentation with respect to its recruitment efforts for the 20 positions filled between Mar. 1,

1993 and Dec. 27, 1994 was destroyed by a flood on Dec. 23, 1994. Although the Commission concluded that Downs contacted recruitment sources, including minority and female organizations, and hired minorities and females, they cautioned the licensee to assess its EEO program to address the absence of minorities in its

applicant pools.

Radio stations in Louisiana are breathing a little easier after the Supreme Court set aside a ban on casino advertising in that state. Inside Radio reports the ruling came after the Court considered its ruling on a state - imposed ban on liquor advertising in Rhode Island, which it declared to be unconstitutional. Stations still can't air the spots, however, because the Supreme Court sent the decision back to the U.S. Fifth Circuit court for a ruling. Gaming states of Nevada and New Jersey are eying the ruling closely. Gaming ads are legal there, but a ruling is pending in California regarding the constitutionality of ads in Nevada.

Southern Skies Corporation's renewal of license for KSSN(FM) in Little Rock and KMVK(FM) in Benton, AR, was granted despite allegations by the Rainbow Coalition that a promised improvement in the EEO program had not been implemented. Southern Skies proved to the Commission that they recruited from approximately 13 sources, including the NAACP and, had in fact, made improvements to their EEO program.

Jacor Communications spent another $170 million of its acquisition war chest to go back to its roots. The 20 station group of Regent Communications will become part of Jacor in exchange for 3.55 million shares of Jacor stock, as well as warrants to purchase an additional 500,000 shares. Jacor will also assume $64 million of Regent debt. Regent's President, Terry Jacobs, was one of the founders of Jacor. The deal gives Jacor a new duopoly in Kansas City as they own country WDAF and rocker KYYS which will combo with Regent's soft AC KUDL and CHR KMXV. In Salt Lake City, Regent turns over country KKAT, Ogden; oldies KODJ and talk KALL, Salt Lake; rocker KUTQ, Bountiful; and dance KZHT, Provo. In Las Vegas, soft AC KSNE -FM, oldies KBGO, and country KFMS -FM, Las Vegas; and country KWNR, Henderson.

Regent also has an SMA with country KBKK, Spanish Fork, UT (Salt Lake) which will be assumed by Jacor.

Jacor didn't stop there. It bought Palmer Broadcasting's legendary Iowa AM's, news -talk WHO, Des Moines, and AC /talk WMT, Cedar Rapids, as well as their AC sister's KLYF and WMT -FM, for $52.5 million. The purchase brings Jacor's station count to 96. Kalil & Co. brokered the transaction.

In Indianapolis, Weiss Broadcasting is taking over the operation of urban -oldies WGLD, Noblesville, IN after its planned sale to Panache Broadcasting fell through.

NEW YORK NASHVILLE

FCC AND DOJ SPELL TROUBLE FOR LMA'S The FCC and the Department of Justice are getting tough on LMA's. Rasa Communications Corp.'s KIXA -FM, Victorville, CA, received a Notice of Apparent Liability for a Forfeiture of $10,000 for not keeping an operating identity or independent presence while in a Program Service Agreement with Tom Gammon's Topaz Broadcasting, Inc., which owns KZXY -AM & FM, Apple Valley, CA, from May 27, 1992 to Jan. 9, 1995. The Commission said the programming agreement "exceeded the boundaries" of an LMA. Under the agreement, Topaz provided the studio, STL, and eight hours of programming per week. Topaz also corrected facilities violations and supervised construction of the stations, which Rasa should have done. Rasa also started program tests before notifying the Commission. Rasa was originally fined $20,000 for the violations. However, it was determined that Rasa voluntarily disclosed and corrected those deviations in faclilities applications, so the fine was lowered to $7,500. A $2,000 forfeiture was levied for violation of the main studio and local public inspection file provision. Rasa failed to maintain a local or toll -free telephone number for the first three months of operation, the public file was missing from its designated location and the station failed to include the Program Services agreement in the public file. Rasa has 30 days to pay or show, in writing, why the penalties should not be imposed. The DOJ is taking a real close look at future LMA's. See page seven for details.

Several times, Quadras, Inc. filed apps to transfer the licenses to Pearson which the Commission granted over the objections of First National Bank and other creditors of Quadras. Subsequently, The Chancery Court of Arkansas County appointed First National receiver. First National filed instant applications, as well as, a petition to deny the AM application and a petition for reconsideration of the grant of the FM application. The FM assignment was consummated on June 17, 1994. On June 22, 1995, the Commission granted First National's petition, rescinded the FM grant to Pearson and dismissed the AM app. Pearson claims the Commission action has caused him irreparable harm and the loss threatens the very existence of the business in question to the extent that he was forced to terminate its operation and business activities on Sept. 16, 1995. The station remains silent. In it's ruling, the Commission held that it would not generally question the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee or receiver where a court is seeking to protect the creditors of a financially disabled licensee. The Commission did impose conditions on the grant. The stations' licenses will expire automatically at 12:01 am on Feb. 9, 1997 unless they resume broadcast operations.

The College of Southern Idaho, licensee of KEZJ(AM) in Twin Falls, was designated for hearing to show cause why its license should not be revoked. The station has been off the air since Dec. 16, 1993. The station was an unexpected gift by B & B

Broadcasting and required approval from an Educational Communications Program at the College and the Idaho State Board of Education for the implementation of a

Mass Communications Program. The station resumed operations on Sept. 5, 1996 and argued that the resumption took longer due to problems in the installation of the remote control equipment, the calibration of the transmitter power meters and sporadic problems in the transmitter. The Commission found that the college committed no deliberate violations and resolved the matter in favor of the college.

The Commission has rescinded a $7,500 Notice of Apparant Liability against Furniture City Broadcasting Corp.'s WFUR AM & FM in Grand Rapids, MI. The reporting conditions and fine were assessed as a result of a petition to deny the renewal of licenses, filed by the Michigan State Conference of Branches of the NAACP. Furniture City argued that the fine was based on activities which last occurred on May 20, 1989 -- more than three years prior to the release of the Notice. The NAACP had also requested early renewal filings for co -owned stations and a market -wide investigation of the EEO practices, which were denied.




WASHINGTON THIS WEEK (cont'd)

Stations who have been silent for more than a year that went silent on or before Feb. 8, 1996 will expire at 12:01 a.m. on Feb. 9, 1997. To resume operations, some stations may require prior Commission action. Licensees of these stations may request expedited processing and should submit applications no later than Nov. 1. Such applications should be marked "REQUEST TO EXPEDITE APPLICATION OF SILENT STATION." Each letter should include call sign, city and state, type of application, a brief explanation of why action on the application is necessary to return to air and the date the license will expire if it remains off the air. For applications already on file, the same letter should be sent. FM letters should be sent to Glenn Griesman, Mail Stop 1800B3, Room 332 and AM letters should be sent to Sharlene Lofty, Mail Stop 1800B2, Room 344 at the FCC's Audio Services Division, 1919 M Street, NW, Washington DC, 20554.

The Department of Justice is turning up the heat on LMA's and SMA's, but may let by -gones be by- gones. According to Inside Radio, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Lawrence Fullerton stated at a meeting that the DOJ doesn't intend to seek civil penalties against owners who have done LMA's as part of a purchase agreement. But, future LMA's as part of transfer agreements will be closely scrutinized -- including demographic or format concentrations. Jacor Communications has already been through the microscope regarding the domination of key demos in Cincinnati, which is why they had to spin off CHR WKRQ there. The DOJ has recently opened almost 20 radio anti -trust investigations.

Capstar is buying up five stations in three separate transactions in the Treasure Coast area of Florida to form a super duopoly there. From EZY Com, it'll get standards WMYM and AC WLRQ -FM, Cocoa, FL. From City Broadcasting, standards /talk WMMB and oldies WGGD -FM, Melbourne, FL. Finally, from Roper Broadcasting, country WHKR, Rockledge, FL. Capstar has a purchase pending of Commodore Media, which owns rocker WZZR, Stuart; hot AC WBBE, Gifford; and oldies WQOL, standards WAXE, and country WAVW, Vero Beach, FL. There's also an SMA with country WPAW, Vero Beach. None of the terms were disclosed. This new super -duopoly covers the entire stretch of coast from Titusville to Ft. Pierce.

The face of the radio landscape in Sacramento and San Diego will change quickly with the announcement of several deals. ARS currently has an LMA -to- purchase with Brown Broadcasting's oldies KXOA, classic hits, KXOA -FM, and new rock KQPT, but will spin KXOA -FM to Entercom for $27.5 million. Entercom will combine the new purchase with Jacor's rocker KRXQ, Roseville and classic rock KSEG, which it has also announced it will buy for $45 million. Jacor will use the proceeds of the deal to purchase four stations in San Diego from Par Broadcasting for $72 million - -talk KOGO and KCBQ, hot AC KKLQ -FM, and rocker KIOZ. At press time, Jacor and Nationwide were announcing station swaps in San Diego, which we'll have next week. When all is done, ARS will have ten stations in or near Sacramento --it owns five, is buying three from EZ Communications, plus the two it keeps from Brown. Jacor will operate nine in San Diego, as it already owns dance KHTS, El Cajon. It's also buying Gannett's news /talk KSDO and soft AC KKBH and LMA's sports XETRA and new rock XETRA -FM across the border in Tijuana. Kalil & Company brokered the ARS /Entercom deal in Sacramento.

Triathlon is picking up two more stations in the Omaha market. American Radio Systems is selling news -talk KFAB and oldies KGOR for $39 million. Triathlon already owns modern AC KTNP, Bennington and country KXKT, Atlanta, both serving Omaha.

Regional Radio Corp. is giving up its Lansing properties to 62nd Street Broadcasting for $15 million. The stations are country WBHR and rocker WJXQ, Jackson and new rock WWDX, St. Johns. The principals of 62nd own rocker WKQZ, Midland, and classic rock simulcasters WMJK, Pinconning, and WMJA, Saginaw.

As we do every year, here are the first three of our annual format tallies. The charts are designed to give you information on how many stations are in each format from year to year, as well as simulcasts, networks, commercial vs. noncommercial, and AM vs. FM. In future weeks, we'll trend ratings information by format, as well.

NEW YORK NASHVILLE

TV HAS "C.O.D.S." SHOULD RADIO FOLLOW WITH "TALES FROM JUSTICE " ?. . . Steve

Dodge's first battle with the Justice Department is over, but it has left his

American Radio Systems a little bloodied in Rochester. ARS will have to spin off

news -talk WHAM and news -talk -sports WHTK, as well as terminate its sales agreement with new rock WNVE, South Bristol, NY and assign its purchase option of that

station to a third party. ARS currently owns soft AC WRMM -FM and sports WCMF and

rocker WCMF -FM, but it is donating the AM to St. John Fisher College. In

February, it agreed to buy AC WVOR -FM, CHR WPXY -FM, WHAM and WHTK from The Lincoln Group. Then in September, it announced it would buy Brighton Broadcasting's construction permit, WAQB, Brighton, NY. Under the terms of the settlement with

the DOJ, ARS will be allowed to close on its pending purchase of WAQB. The ruling marks the first time the DOJ has ruled on a sales agreement. Dodge was quick to

point out that he disagrees with the DOJ theory that radio is its own unique market within all advertising choices and that his pending deals in the market were all approved by the FCC.

CANADA YEARS AHEAD OF U.S. IN DIGITAL. . . Canada will have digital broadcasting in place next year. A cooperative effort among the nation's public and private broadcasters gives Toronto listeners DAB broadcasts that will start in mid -1997. 15 Toronto stations plan to establish digital transmitters on Toronto's CN tower.

Initially, the programming of the 15 stations will be simulcast in both analog and digital using the Eureka L -Band system. Toronto consumers will be able to buy

receivers in the Fall of next year.

WASHINGTON THIS WEEK The Commission denied an application for review filed by Orion Communications which rescinded Orion Communications, Ltd. construction permit and operating authority for station WZLS(FM) in Biltmore Forest, NC. The Commission claims that Orion constructed the station months after its permit grant was overturned and granted a joint interim arrangement to a non -profit corporation made up of four other applicants for the facility during the comparative hearing -- Biltmore Forest Broadcasting FM, Inc.; Liberty Productions LP; Skyland Broadcasting Company; and Willsyr Communications LP. Orion elected not to participate as a party to the application for interim operating authority.

The Commission granted the assignment of KUUY(AM) and KKAZ(FM) in Cheyenne, WY from James T. Dineen, Trustee in Bankruptcy to Magic City Media, Inc. after a

hearing to establish whether previous unauthorized assignments of the station's licenses, involving entities controlled by Paul Lowrey were intended to deceive the Commission concerning the ownership. The Commission found no proof of deceit.

The transfer of KOLA, San Bernardino to receiver Ray M. Stanfield survived a

challenge by Joseph D. Jones this week. The subsequent transfer for Inland Empire Broadcasting Corporation also survived. The station changed hands in early 1992 when licensee Frederick Cote was indicted on five felony charges in the State of California which resulted in a conviction on four counts, including murder. While he awaited trial, Cote and Inland negotiated a purchase of KOLA resulting in a

sales agreement. The parties also entered into a loan agreement of $500,000, ultimately used to pay Cote's defense costs, taking back a promissory note secured by KOLA's assets. KOLA defaulted on its obligations and Inland foreclosed. The CA Superior Court appointed Ray Stanfield as receiver. Jones claims Cote and Inland "colluded" to obtain the appointment of the receiver to "perfect" Inland's security interest. The Commission found no basis in Jones' allegations that Inland took premature control of the station or filed fraudulent EEO reports.

Renewal booklets will be mailed near the middle of November for stations in

Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma and translators in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maine, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire, Washington DC, Ohio, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Delaware, New York, Maryland and Rh:-de Island. Corrections should be submitted no later than Nov. 8 and should be mailed to Claudia Patterson, Room 342, FCC, Washington, DC 20554 or faxed to (202) 481 -1411.

ELSEWHERE Jacor's purchase of the week is Colfax Communications' Boise combo of news /talk KIDO, oldies KLTB, and classic hits KARO, Caldwell for $11 million. With the purchase, Jacor now owns 102 stations. Kalil & Company brokered the deal.




ELSEWHERE (cont'd) In San Diego, Jacor is filling out its full complement of stations by swapping its Phoenix stations for adult standards KPOP and classic rock KGB -FM, both San Diego, which Nationwide Communications is in the process of buying from Brown Broadcasting. Nationwide picks up Jacor's only stations in Phoenix, classic rock combo KSLX -AM & FM. Nationwide plans to spin the newly- acquired Jacor combo to Sandusky Radio. In order to comply with ownership caps, Jacor will spin talk KCBQ (AM) to EXCL Communications for an undisclosed amount. The deal gives Jacor eight stations in San Diego along with a management agreement with Mexican sports station XETRA (AM) and new rock XETRA -FM, both Tijuana. Look for KCBQ to flip to Spanish programming when EXCL takes it over.

SFX Broadcasting is expanding its presence in Hartford with the purchase of country WWYZ, Waterbury from The Gilmore Family for $25.25 million. SFX has new rock WWRQ, Waterbury; classic rock WHCN and news /talk WPOP, both Hartford; and is

buying CHR WKSS, Meriden through its purchase of Multi- Market Radio. Gilmore will keep talker WATR, Waterbury.

In Houston, SFX has renegotiated its deal to buy news -talk KNUZ and standards KQUE for $38 million plus "additional consideration" from Texas Coast Broadcasters. SFX tried to buy the stations several months ago, but couldn't work out the details. This time, SFX is buying the stations through Multi- Market Radio, which it is in the process of buying. SFX will have three FM's and an AM in the market. It already owns soft AC KODA and is about to close on classic rock KKRW.

Dame Media has snatched up another Albany, NY station. It's buying Regal Media's jazz WHRL for $2,632,500 to combo with news -talk WGY and classic hits WRVE, both Schenectady. Dick Kozacko of Kozacko Media Services was the broker.
