Report No. MM-827     MASS MEDIA ACTION             April 28,1994

         NEVADA STATION GRANTED RENEWAL SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE AND 
         REPORTING CONDITIONS; FOUR ARIZONA STATIONS GRANTED SHORT
       TERM RENEWALS SUBJECT TO FORFEITURES AND REPORTING CONDITIONS

     Following review of their respective EEO (Equal Employment
Opportunity) programs, the Commission has granted, subject to
sanctions, the license renewal applications of the following
licensees:  Commonwealth Broadcasting of Northern California for
station KMZQ-FM; Broadcast Associates, Inc. for stations KFMS/KFMS-
FM; and Arizona Lotus Corporation for stations KTKT/KLPX-FM.  The
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
petitioned each of the applications.  The National Hispanic Media
Coalition (NHMC) and its member Richard Martinez petitioned the
applications for stations KTKT/KLPX-FM.

     The Commission has renewed the license for KMZQ-FM subject to
reporting conditions and a Notice of Apparent Liability (NAL) for
$18,750 due to deficient recruitment efforts.  The sanctions are
based on the licensee's failure to engage in recruiting efforts so
as to attract an adequate pool of minority applicants for a
substantial number of its 35 full-time jobs.  Further EEO conduct
indicating particular types of deficiencies also contributed to the
imposed sanctions.  In this regard, specific deficiencies include
the licensee's inadequate efforts given the large number of hiring
vacancies.

     The Commission has renewed the licenses for KFMS/KFMS-FM for
a short term subject to reporting conditions and a NAL for $25,000
due to deficient recruitment efforts.  The sanctions are based on
the licensee's failure to engage in recruiting efforts so as to
attract an adequate pool of minority applicants for a substantial
number of its 28 full-time jobs.  Further EEO conduct indicating
particular types of deficiencies also contributed to the imposed
sanctions.  In this regard, specific deficiencies include the
licensee's failure to recruit for at least a third of its positions
and inadequate efforts given the large number of hiring vacancies.



                                  (over)

     The Commission has renewed the licenses for KTKT/KLPX-FM for
a short term subject to reporting conditions and a NAL for $25,000
due to deficient recruitment efforts.  The sanctions are based on
the licensee's failure to engage in recruiting efforts so as to
attract an adequate pool of minority applicants for a substantial
number of its 27 full-time jobs.  Further EEO conduct indicating
particular types of deficiencies also contributed to the imposed
sanctions.  In this regard, specific deficiencies include the
licensee's failure to recruit for at least a third of its
positions, inadequate efforts given the large number of its hiring
vacancies, and the large minority labor force.  However, in
evaluating the overall sanction, the Commission did give the
licensee credit for recruitment efforts which resulted in minority
hires.

     Action by the Commission April 20, 1994, by Memorandum Opinion
and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability (FCC 94-106).  Chairman
Hundt, Commissioner Barrett, with Commissioner Quello concurring in
the result and issuing a statement.
