Report No. MM 96-3           MASS MEDIA ACTION             January 26, 1996


          COMMISSION RESCINDS FORFEITURE TO DENNIS ELAM, TRUSTEE 
                   FOR BAKCOR BROADCASTING, INC., DEBTOR
                                     
     The Commission has rescinded a proposed forfeiture of
$25,000 to Dennis Elam, Trustee in Bankruptcy for Bakcor
Broadcasting,Inc. Debtor, former licensee of Stations
KMND(AM)/KNFM(FM), Midland, TX.

     In issuing the notice of apparent liability, the Commission
had found apparent violations of its EEO rule at he stations.  In
rescinding the forfeiture, the Commission observed that all of
the noted EEO rule violations had occurred while Bakcor was
licensee.  Given the circumstances of the bankruptcy proceeding,
the Commission concluded that requiring payment from Elam would
punish innocent creditors of the former licensee and serve no
public interest purpose.

     Action by the Commission January 18, 1996, by Memorandum
Opinion and Order and Notices of Apparent Liability (FCC 96-8). 
Chairman Hundt, Commissioners Quello, Barrett, Ness, and Chong.
