WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' LICENSE . It's spent almost ten weeks on the air without a license, but the new religious -programmed station on 105.3 MHz in the Hartford, CT area, is being investigated by the Commission's New England Field Office. According to the Hartford Courant, Mark Blake is operating the station from studios in Bloomfield, CT, and says that he "stands behind" the station's operation. Although there have been no interference complaints filed, other stations in the area are claiming they are losing advertising dollars to the pirate. The station could be fined up to $100,000 for each day it is on the air.

The Commission renewed the Lutheran Church / Synod's licenses for KFUO (AM & FM), Clayton, MO for a full term, subject to reporting conditions based on the Church's failure to comply with EEO requirements. In addition, the Commission concluded that the Church made misleading statements about its EEO practices but, in view of a pertinent provision of the statute of limitations, imposed a forfeiture of $25,000, reduced from $50,000, for this misconduct. Specifically, the Commission questioned the licensee's affirmative recruitment efforts and noted in particular that its reasons for failing to recruit -- among them, that it required "Lutheran training" and "classical music expertise" for certain positions -- unacceptable because they had a direct adverse impact on the recruitment of African Americans. The Church argued that the Commission's requirements violated its constitutional right to religious freedom. In response, the Commission pointed out that, where a job position has no substantial connection with program content, enforcement did not violate a licensee's First Amendment.

License renewals for Guaranty Broadcasting Corp.'s KJIN(AM) and KCIL(FM) in Houma, LA were granted subject to reporting conditions and a Notice of Apparent Liability for forfeiture in the amount of $10,000. A Petition to Deny the renewals was filed by the Southern Region of the National Rainbow Coalition alleging EEO Rule and policy violations. The Commission found no evidence of employment discrimination, but the licensee's overall EEO efforts with respect to minorities was deficient and it failed to provide correct information concerning its renewal year upper -level hires.

The Commission denied Talkline Broadcasting's Application for Review regarding a letter ruling by the Mass Media Bureau on the assignment of license for WLIR(AM), Spring Valley, NY from Tsooris Corp. to Talkline. The letter upheld the NY State court ruling that consummation of the assignment had not occurred and Tsooris remains the licensee. Talkline argued that the courts have not resolved the issue as Tsooris has been dissolved for non -payment of NY State franchise taxes and may not currently carry on broadcast business in the state. The FCC asserts this must be resolved in the courts and does not affect their determination that Tsooris is the licensee. The Motion to Stay filed by Tsooris was dismissed as moot.

On Sept. 17, 1996, the Commission adopted a Notice of Inquiry regarding its policy for waiving the Newspaper /Radio Cross -Ownership Rule.

The Commission extended the deadlines to coincide with the comment and reply deadlines in the national ownership, local ownership, and attribution proceedings. As a result of a request by Media Access Project, and given the number of comments the Commission expects to receive, the complexity of the issues involved, and the interrelated issues raised, the Commission granted an extra 14 days in which to file reply comments. Replies are now due Mar. 21, 1997.

The CHR format may soon be an option for Canadian FM broadcasters. The Candian Radio -television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) is considering relaxing its twenty -year -old limits on the amount of "hit" music that FM stations can play. The limits were originally adopted to protect AM music formats against new FM competitors. In calling for comments on changes to the FM programming rules, the CRTC said that with declines in the number of hit -music -intensive AM stations over the past decade, the current law protects relatively few broadcasters and limits FM radio's ability to fill a programming niche.

For those programming to the senior audience, here's another reason why you should look a little further than 25 -54. The Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association conducted a national survey of older Americans which gives two sharply contrasting views of the nation's senior population. One portrays a group of modern, free spending consumers whose home entertainment equipment and choices of entertainment options essentially mirror the rest of the adult population. The other depicts a group of very budget- conscious consumers who are significantly less interested than younger adults in modern technologies. Gary Shapiro, CEMA President, sums up the survey stating, "The research makes it very clear that while some segments of our industry have gained wide - spread acceptance among seniors, others still have a long way to go to reach this large and affluent market." According to the US Census Bureau, the nation's 68.2 million seniors comprise about a third of the adult population and are the wealthiest consumer segment with the largest disposable income of any group.

The budget represents a decrease of 100 full -time employees from 1997 and a net increase in the funding level of $30 million. The $30 million increase is requested to reimburse the General Services Administration for the initial costs associated with the move of FCC Headquarters into a consolidated facility. Of the proposed budget, $162,523,000 would come from regulatory fees collected and $56,556,000 from direct appropriations. The Commission granted the renewal of license for Chester Broadcasting Company Inc's WGCD(AM) in Chester, SC and determined Chester was qualified to be and remain the licensee of the station. WGCD suspended operations July 31, 1993 when the station's GM resigned and the licensee's principals claimed they were unable to manage the station. The station was put up for sale with plans to dissolve the corporation and surrender its license if the efforts were not successful by June 30, 1994. The efforts were not successful, but the licensee filed for license renewal in July, 1995. The license for the station was to be terminated if it failed to resume operations by Feb. 8, 1997. WGCD resumed regular broadcast operations with its licensed facilities on Jan. 4, 1997 and entered into an LMA with prospective buyer, Frank Neely, who assured the Commission that the station will have sufficient revenue and programming to continue operation until consummation of the proposed sale.

PolarComm Corp. was granted a temporary request for waiver of the Commission's one -to -a- market rule to permit common ownership of WKIZ(AM) and WEYS(TV), Key West, FL and assignment application from Spectrum Radio, Inc. The grant is subject to the condition that within twelve months of the date of consummation of the proposed assignment of WKIZ(AM), PolarComm files an application for Commission consent to assign WEYS(TV) to a new party. WKIZ(AM) has been off the air since Dec. 6, 1994 and does not meet the guidelines for a permanent waiver grant. PolarComm has six months to return WKIZ(AM) to its fully authorized facilities.

The National Association of Broadcasters filed four sets of comments urging the Commission to make substantial changes to its ownership rules. For the radio industry, the NAB supports the proposal to increase benchmarks for attribution of holders of voting stock and certain classes of passive investors, broad deregulation of station ownership, the elimination of television -radio cross - ownership restrictions, liberalizing the waiver criteria for the radio -newspaper cross -ownership rule and the proposal to count satellite stations and LMA stations only if they operate in different markets when counting stations for national audience reach limits.

Jac -Vin Religious Broadcasters, Inc.'s WJTD(FM), McArthur, OH was granted a license to cover to change its status to non -commercial.

Assignment of license for WNRJ(AM), Circleville, OH from Tel Lease, Inc. to J.G. Corporation was dismissed. The station's license was canceled and call letters deleted.

Karen Kornbluh was named Acting Director of the Office of Legislative and Intragovernmental Affairs at the Commission. She had been serving as Assistant Chief of The International Bureau.

www.americanradiohistory.com THE M STREET JOURNAL page 11 Feb. 12, 1997 ELSEWHERE Calling it "the mother of all challenges," NAB President Eddie Fritts is hopping mad at the Consumer Electronics Manufacturer's Association for its request to the FCC to allocate L -band spectrum for DAB. NAB is a proponent of the in -band, on- channel system that allows existing broadcasters to keep the frequencies they have while making the transition to DAB. CEMA didn't discuss the proposal with the NAB before making the request. So in a speech at the Radio Advertising Bureau's Atlanta board meeting, Fritts said the CEMA's "underhanded- backhanded tactics will not engender future cooperation. You can be sure NAB will be standing in the doorway to block any of your cockamamie schemes." Fritts said the NAB is also concerned about the move by Seagrams to bring hard liquor ads to radio as well as Congress' interest in free political ads. American Radio Systems' tower business got a little bigger this week as it picked up two tower companies through its "American Tower Systems" division. Terms were undisclosed for the purchase of-Meridian Communications and Diablo Communications, both of which lease tower space to hundreds of stations in the state. The deal brings ATS' total towers owned or managed to over 450.

Rumors are flying that Viacom is closer to a deal that will rid itself of its radio division. A story in USA Today reports that Infinity Broadcasting may have put in a huge bid on only one of Viacom's radio markets, which now has Sumner Redstone rethinking his strategy of selling the whole group to one buyer. The company is hoping to generate $1.4 billion from the sale of the radio division, but may have to settle for less. Viacom is trying to buy down an estimated $10 billion in debt. Westinghouse Electric Corporation announced plans to acquire TNN: The Nashville Network and CMT: Television from Gaylord Entertainment Company. The merger encompasses domestic and international operations of TNN, US and Canadian operations of CMT, including a joint venture with Shaw Cable of Canada, several cable production companies, and NASCAR Thunder, a chain of retail stores. The merger also contributes approximately $50 million of working capital. Gaylord shareholders will receive $1.55 billion in Westinghouse common stock; one share for every three shares held. At the close of the transaction, David Hall, President of Gaylord Communications Group, will join CBS Cable as President, TNN and CMT. Non -commercial news, talk, and classical station WFCR, Amherst, MA has entered into an agreement to provide programming to cross -town commercial news station WTTT(AM), Amherst. WFCR will provide National Public Radio and Public Radio International programming for broadcast by the commercial station from 10 am to 6 pm daily. WTTT will retain their local news programming in morning drive and will receive 50% of the revenues generated by WFCR from underwriting credits.

Interep announced that "CBS Radio Sales" has been selected as the name for the new company formed to provide exclusive national sales representation for CBS Radio Stations. Michael Weiss is President of the new company, which is comprised of four teams, CBS Radio Representatives, headed by Chad Brown; Group W Radio Sales, headed by Tony Miraglia; and two Infinity Radio Sales teams headed by Sue McNamara and Peggy Kafka.

Caballero Spanish Media, a division of Interep, announced it will handle national ad sales for Spanish Broadcasting System. Spanish currently owns nine stations in New York, Los Angeles and Miami, with annual billings of approximately $14 million. The stations were previously represented by Katz Radio Group.

Interep Research released a new report focusing on the role of sports in Americans' lives entitled "Sports in America /Our National Obsession." The report shows all time highs in the number of Americans participating in sports and although the big winner in sports dollars continues to be television, the report lists a variety of lifestyle and media changes that may convince advertisers that dollars are better spent in other areas - like radio. The report points to athletic shoe companies, some of the biggest spending sports- oriented advertisers, to illustrate the opportunity for advertisers to gain share of voice on radio.

VIACOM DEAL WORTH 272 MILLION RENTALS OF "GONE WITH THE WIND" . . . Three radio giants will combine forces to form a new 103 station group valued at $5 billion with revenues of $700 million a year. Evergreen Media and Chancellor Broadcasting will put their two companies together to form "Chancellor Media Corporation." The new company will then plunk down $1.075 billion in stock to buy Sumner Redstone's radio division at Viacom. Redstone was trolling for a $1.4 billion offer on his radio collection to help pare down the company's $10 billion debt burden and was considering selling things off market by market. The mega group holds 103 stations in 21 markets, and includes at least four FM's in New York, L.A., Detroit, and Washington, , Chicago and Philadelphia. To comply with the rules, the company will have to spin an FM in Detroit, two FM's in both San Francisco and Chicago, and an FM and two AM's in Washington, DC. Evergreen's Chairman, Scott Ginsburg, will be President of the new company. Chancellor Chairman and Hicks, Muse, Tate, & Furst partner, Tom Hicks, will serve as Chancellor Media's Chairman. Steve Dinetz and Jimmy de Castro will be co- COO's. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 1997.

THE NETWORK HAS LEFT THE SANDBOX . KidStar, the 24 -hour children's radio network, suspended operations this week when negotiations for additional capital failed to materialize. The Seattle station, KKDZ(AM), was the flagship station for the network, which launched in 1993. About 50 people were laid off and five LMA'd stations are left without programming. They are KMPQ, Rosenberg, TX (Houston); WNFT, Boston; WDOZ, Dearborn, MI (Detroit); KDFC, Palo Alto, CA (San Francisco); and KDDZ, San Diego. Among the services offered, KidStar provided a magazine and an interactive telephone system. Advertising revenues were slow to materialize without the benefit of Arbitron ratings even though KidStar compiled names and addresses from magazine and online registrations into demographic data.

The make -up of the FCC will undergo a major change if Senator John McCain, Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, has his way. He's bucking to replace Rachelle Chong and retiring Commissioner Jim Quello, and fill the vacant Democratic seat with a "package" of three people. Dow Jones reports McCain has no interest in keeping Commissioner Chong at the end of her term in June, although the NAB has come out in support of Chong. The two other names in the hat are Michael Powell, who is the son of former Joint Chiefs Chairman General Colin Powell, and FCC General Counsel Bill Kennard.

More silent station licenses fell to the Commission this week. AJI Broadcasting Inc.'s, KYEG(FM), Canadian, TX had its license revoked by the Commission on December 12, 1996. The licenses for WQQW (AM) Waterbury, CT, and WLNG (AM) Sag Harbor, NY were canceled and call signs deleted February 7, 1997, after their purchase by Unity Broadcasting. Unity bought the stations in order to eliminate them so that it could expand the signal from gospel WWRL, New York.

The Commission granted a waiver of the restrictions on settlement agreements to EZ , Inc. and Allegheny Communications Group, Inc. because the settlement was proposed prior to the release of an Initial Decision in this proceeding and because the proposed payment to Allegheny exceeds the amount permitted by that rule. The Commission's freeze of comparative proceedings has precluded release of an Initial Decision in this case and, in light of the adoption of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which eliminated the right of challengers to file applications for new facilities against an incumbent licensee's renewal application, for applications filed after May 1, 1995, the Commission's limitation on the amount to be paid to such a competing applicant in order to deter non -bona fide filings no longer serves any public interest purpose. Nine other pending requests involving similar comparative renewal proceedings will be considered under this precedent.

An Application for Review was denied by the Commission for consent to assign the licenses for KKIC(AM), Boise, ID from Northwest Broadcasting, Inc. to Western Pacific, Inc. and KJHY(FM), Emmett, Idaho from Radio Broadcasting, Inc. to Capital West, Inc. Petitioners sought to reverse the decision which granted the assignments. The two transactions were related in that the two assignors are sister corporations and the two assignees are also sister companies. The assignments were unopposed and consummated on Dec. 6, 1995. According to petitioners, both assignments were void from the start because Steve Sumner, the assignors' corporate President, acted without corporate authority. The transfer grant was affirmed but the petitioners are still litigating the related issues in an ongoing Idaho proceeding.

Northern Colorado Radio, Inc., licensee of KUAD -FM, Windsor, CO was ordered to pay a $3,000 forfeiture for violation of the Commission's sponsorship identification section of the Rules. Northern argues that its announcements included an "800" telephone number that, if called, would lead the listener to the sponsoring company. The Commission's rule requires on -air notice that broadcast matter has been sponsored, and by whom.
