                 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER 
                      AND FORFEITURE ORDER


   Adopted:  September 16, 1997      Released:  September 22, 1997  

By the Commission:

     1.   The Commission has before it for consideration a Notice of Apparent Liability ("NAL") for
forfeiture released November 22, 1996, directed to Radio Communicators, Inc., licensee of Station WINL-
FM, Linden, Alabama.  See Radio Communicators, Inc., 11 FCC Rcd 15491 (1996) ("Radio
Communicators").  The Commission issued an NAL for $8,000 to Radio Communicators, Inc. for its failure
to pursue sufficient Equal Employment Opportunity ("EEO") recruitment efforts, and its failure to
adequately self-assess its EEO program, in violation of the Commission's EEO Rule, 47 C.F.R.  73.2080.

     2.   Radio Communicators, Inc. has not responded to the NAL.  Accordingly, we incorporate
by reference the licensee's record of inadequate efforts as set forth in Radio Communicators.  Based on that
record, we conclude that our determination that a forfeiture of $8,000 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 Radio Communicators, Inc. FORFEIT to the United States the
sum of eight thousand dollars ($8,000) 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.
