                 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER 
                      AND FORFEITURE ORDER


   Adopted:  September 2, 1997          Released:  September 9, 1997

By the Commission:

     1.   The Commission has before it for consideration a Notice of Apparent Liability ("NAL") for
forfeiture released September 10, 1996, directed to WCMS Radio Norfolk, Inc., licensee of Stations
WCMS/WCMS-FM, Norfolk, Virginia.  See WCMS Radio Norfolk, Inc., 11 FCC Rcd 11081 (1996)
("WCMS").  The Commission issued an NAL for $14,000 to WCMS Radio Norfolk, Inc. for its failure to
pursue sufficient Equal Employment Opportunity ("EEO") recruitment efforts, and its failure to maintain
adequate records for meaningful self-assessment, in violation of the Commission's EEO Rule, 47 C.F.R. 
73.2080.

     2.   WCMS Radio Norfolk, Inc. has not responded to the NAL.  Accordingly, we incorporate by
reference the licensee's record of inadequate efforts as set forth in WCMS.  Based on that record, we conclude
that our determination that a forfeiture amount of $14,000 is appropriate.

     3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  503(b), that WCMS Radio Norfolk, Inc. FORFEIT to the United States the
sum of fourteen thousand dollars ($14,000) for failing to comply with the Commission's EEO provisions, 47
C.F.R.  73.2080.  Full payment of the forfeiture may be made by mailing to the Commission a check or
similar instrument payable to the Federal Communications Commission within 30 days of the release date of
this Order.  In regard to this forfeiture proceeding, the licensee may take appropriate action as set forth in
Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.80, and Section 504(a) of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  504(a), as summarized in the attachment to this Memorandum Opinion and
Order and Forfeiture Order.
