Report No. MM 95-49                                                   MASS MEDIA ACTION            June  26, 1995
     
                FCC GRANTS PACIFIC FM, INC.'S REQUEST FOR WAIVER
                          OF THE ONE-TO-A-MARKET RULE
                                        
         The Commission granted Pacific FM, Inc.'s request for waiver of the one-to-a-
     market rule and the subject assignment of KDIA (AM), Oakland, CA license
     application from 1310 Inc.  Pacific FM, Inc.'s showing in support of a waiver of the
     one-to-a-market rule meets the Commission's case-by-case waiver standard, and a
     waiver in this instance is consistent with the public interest and would not have an
     adverse effect on diversity and competition in the San Francisco market.  Pacific FM,
     Inc. has also shown that the proposed combination complies with the local radio
     ownership rules in all relevant respects.  
         
         Pacific FM, Inc. had to file a request for waiver of the one-to-a-market rule
     because it also owns KOFY(AM), San Mateo, CA and UHF television station KOFY-
     TV, Channel 20, licensed to San Francisco, CA.  KOFY-TV is affiliated with the
     new Warner Brothers Network.  Due to the fact that the Grade A contour of KOFY-
     TV encompasses all of Oakland, CA, granting of the subject application requires
     waiver of the Commission's one-to-a-market rule.  
     
         Additionally, the informal objection filed by Mr. Alfred Williamson raising
     allegations concerning other qualified minority buyers for the station has been
     withdrawn.  Both Mr. Williamson and the parties have submitted affidavits
     demonstrating that withdrawal of the objection complies with 47 C.F.R. Section
     73.3588.
     
         Action by the Commission June 14, 1995 by MO&O (FCC 95-228).
