Report No. MM 95-79          MASS MEDIA ACTION              August 15, 1995


          FCC AFFIRMS GRANT OF APPLICATION TO ASSIGN THE LICENSE
                         OF WIZF(FM), ERLANGER, KY

     The Commission has affirmed the grant of the application to
assign the license of WIZF(FM), Erlanger, KY, from Inter-Urban
Broadcasting of Cincinnati, Inc., Debtor-in-Possession, to Blue
Chip Broadcasting Company (BCBC).  In so doing, the Commission
denied the application for review of this action filed by Thomas
P. Lewis and James J. Hutchinson.

     Together, Lewis and Hutchinson owned 91 percent of Inter-
Urban.  Lewis and Hutchinson's alternative reorganization plan
was rejected by the bankruptcy court.  Lewis and Hutchinson's 
alternative reorganization plan was rejected by the bankruptcy
court.  Lewis and Hutchinson petitioned to deny the assignment 
based on the allegation that one of the major lenders to the
assignee, BCBC, for financing the acquisition of WIZF is the
undisclosed real-party-in-interest in BCBC.  Lewis and Hutchinson
petition was subsequently denied by the Mass Media Bureau.  Lewis
and Hutchinson filed the instant application for review restating
essentially the same allegations.

     Denying review, the Commission affirmed the Bureau's factual
findings and the Bureau's conclusion that the record does not
establish that the lender is a real-party-in-interest in BCBC.  
The Commission agreed with the Bureau's finding that the
petitioners failed to present a substantial and material question
of fact which warranted further inquiry.

     Action by the Commission August 7, 1995, by Memorandum
Opinion and Order (FCC 95-347).  Chairman Hundt, Commissioners
Quello, Barrett, Ness, and Chong.
