MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

   Adopted:  May 14, 1998                          Released:  May 18, 1998

By the Deputy Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

  1.    Media One filed a Petition for Reconsideration of the Memorandum Opinion and Order,
DA 98-78, released January 16, 1998 in this proceeding ("Bureau Order").  The Bureau Order" granted
a must carry complaint filed by Fouce Amusement Enterprises ("Fouce"), licensee of full power
commercial television station KCRA(TV) (Channel 62), Riverside, California, filed pursuant to 47 C.F.R.
 76.7 and 76.61(a) and ordered Media One to commence carriage of KCRA(TV) on Channel 62 of that
portion of Media One's System serving the communities of Cypress, Downey, and La Palma, California. 
KRCA Television, Inc. ("Complainant") filed an opposition to the petition.  No reply was filed.  The
petition for reconsideration will be denied.

  2.    Pursuant to Section 614 of the Communications Act and implementing rules adopted by
the Commission in its Report and Order in MM Docket 92-259, commercial television broadcast stations
are entitled to assert mandatory carriage rights on cable systems located within the station's market.  A
station's market for this purpose is its "area of dominant influence," or ADI, as defined by the Arbitron
audience research organization.  An ADI is a geographic market designation that defines each television
market exclusive of others, based on measured viewing.  Section 614 and Commission rules adopted in
the Must Carry Order require a cable system to carry a commercial television station on the cable system
channel number on which the station broadcasts, or on the channel which it was carried on certain dates
as specified in 47 U.S.C.  534(b)(6) and 47 C.F.R.  76.57(a).

  3.     The allegations previously raised by the parties and our discussion and analysis of the
issues raised are fully addressed in the Bureau Order and need not be discussed here.  Media One asserts
first that the complaint should have been dismissed for failure to include among its attachments a letter
dated June 18, 1997 allegedly sent by Media One to the Complainant as required by Section 76.7(c)(4)(ii)
of our rules.  The Complainant established by a verifying declaration that the letter described by Media
One had not been received before the complaint was filed.  Media One offered no evidence to the
contrary.  Section 76.7(c)(4)(i) applicable here requires that a complaint of a commercial television station
be accompanied by a copy of the non-compliance notice sent to the cable operator and a copy of any
response or a statement that no response was received.  We find that Complainant satisfied these
requirements.

  4.     Lastly, Media One contends the Bureau Order should not have given KCRA precedence
over the City of Costa Mesa's pre-existing use of Channel 62 .  We reject this contention and reaffirm
our previous Order in this regard.  Media One presented with the petition no factual information or other
relevant matter not previously considered by us in the Bureau Order.

                             ORDERING CLAUSES

  5.     Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the Petition for Reconsideration filed by Media One
IS DENIED.

  6.     This action is taken pursuant to authority delegated under 47 C.F.R.  0.321.
