Report No. MM95-6            MASS MEDIA ACTION             February 2, 1995


        REDING BROADCASTING DENIED REVIEW OF ACTIONS REGARDING THE
                 ASSIGNMENT OF THREE TEXAS RADIO STATIONS

     The FCC has denied Reding Broadcasting Company's application
for review of actions by the Mass Media Bureau granting the
applications for assignment of license of station KEEP(FM),
Bandera, TX, from Big Pine Broadcasting, Inc., to James G.
Withers, and for the assignment of license and permit of stations
KRME(AM) and KRBH(FM), Hondo, TX, from Radio Medina, Inc. to
Withers.

     In its objections, Reding had argued that grant of the
applications should be reversed because the KEEP assignment
involved a "bare license;" that Withers was financially
unqualified; that Withers held an undisclosed 49 percent
ownership in KRME-KRBH; and that Radio Medina will remain a real
party in interest in KRME-KRBH.  In its application for review,
Reding reargued these points and in addition argued that the KRBF
permit is being sold for a profit.

     Denying review, the Commission agreed with the Bureau's
analysis and found all of Reding's arguments to be without metit. 

     Action by the Commission January 30, 1995, by Memorandum
Opinion and Order (FCC 95-38).  Chairman Hundt, Commissioners
Quello, Barrett, Ness, and Chong.
