Report No. MM95-14           MASS MEDIA ACTION            February 24, 1995


              COMMISSION CONSENTS TO ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSE OF
                           KLHI-FM, LAHAINA, HI

     The Commission has granted the application for involuntary
assignment of license of KLHI-FM, Lahaina, HI, from Pacific Isle
Broadcasting, Inc. to Howard R. Green, Receiver, and the
application for voluntary assignment of the license of KLHI-FM
from Howard R. Green, Receiver, to Lahaina Broadcasting Co.,
Ltd., (LBC).

     In taking this action, the Commission denied the application
for review filed by Dale J. Parsons, Jr.; denied the informal
objections filed by Dale J. Parsons, Jr., and Virginia Parsons;
dismissed as moot the request for emergency consideration filed
by Howard R. Green, Receiver; dismissed as moot the request by
Parsons for issuance of a cease and desist order and imposition
of a monetary forfeiture against the Receiver;  denied the
Receiver's request for special temporary authority to operate
with the existing facilities of KLHI-FM despite certain technical
deficiencies; and ordered the receiver to bring KLHI-FM into full
compliance with the FCC's technical rules within 30 days from the
release date of the Order in this proceeding.

     The Receiver, Howard R. Green, was appointed by a bankruptcy
court which ruled that a prior assignment of the KLHI-FM license
from Pacific Isle Broadcasting,Inc. to Parsons was an
impermissible, avoidable post-petition transfer pursuant to
Section 549 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The court also
ruled that Pacific Isle was the "alter-ego" of the debtor-in-
bankruptcy.

     The Commission found that the application for review, the
petition to deny, and the informal objections were without merit
and that there were no substantial and material questions of fact
warranting further inquiry.   The Commission stated that LBC's
qualifications have not been challenged.  Further, based upon its
review of the applications, the Commission found that Receiver
and LBC are qualified to be Commission licensees and that 
                                     
                                  -more-




                                    -2-

grant of the Pacific Isle-to-Receiver involuntary assignment
application and the Receiver-to-LBC voluntary assignment
application were in the public interest.

     The Commission stated further that its grant of these
applications will be subject to and without prejudice to whatever
action, if any it may deem appropriate in the event the decisions
of the Bankruptcy Court are reversed or otherwise modified on
appeal.

     Action by the Commission February 23, 1995, by Memorandum
Opinion and Order (FCC 95-67).  Chairman Hundt, Commissioners
Quello, Barrett, Ness, and Chong.
