In  d(#accordance with these standards, the Commission presumptively favors waiver requests involving stations  d(#<serving the top 25 markets where at least 30 separately owned, operated, and controlled broadcast licensees  d(#or "voices" would remain after the proposed combination ("top 25/30 voice" standard). The Commission  d(#Nalso favors requests involving "failed stations," that is, stations that have not been operating for a  d(#substantial period of time (four months or more) or are involved in bankruptcy proceedings. Other waiver  S- d(#requests must be evaluated under the more rigorous casebycase approach. See 47 C.F.R. 73.3555(c)  d(#[n. 7. Assignee notes that Chicago is the country's third largest television and radio market. It also states  d(#that following consummation of the proposed transaction there will be 58 separately owned, operated, and  Sm - d(#controlled broadcast licensees in the Chicago market, including 10 television, 18 AM and 30 FM stations.^m D {OQ- d(#ԍ The relevant market for counting television stations is the Nielsen DMA (see Media Communications Partners,  {O- d(#L.P., 10 FCC Rcd 8116, 81167 n. 3 (1995), and for counting radio stations, the television metro market (see Second  {O-Report and Order, 4 FCC Rcd at 1760 n. 101).

Ill.). Presiding  {O- d(#Judge Robert Ginsberg approved the debtor's plan to sell to assignee by Order dated October 29, 1997. See also  d(#application no. BAL970318EB, granted March 31, 1997 (assigning license from Liberty Temple Full Gospel Church, Inc. to Liberty Temple Full Gospel Church, Inc., DebtorinPossession). and has been silent since March of 1997.  v 03. Although Assignee here proposes to acquire two sameservice stations in the Chicago market,  d(#lthe 5 mV/m signals of those two stations do not overlap. Therefore, the Commission's local radio  d(#ownership rules are not implicated in this transaction, and we may proceed under the presumptive waiver  S- d(#standard listed in note 7 to Section 73.3555(c). See Memorandum Opinion and Order in MM Docket No.  S- d(#z91140, 7 FCC Rcd 6387, 6394 n. 40 (1992); Moosey Communications, Inc., 8 FCC Rcd 5247 (1993)  d(#(consideration of onetoamarket waivers under casebycase standard is appropriate when impact of local  d(#radio ownership rules is relevant). Assignee does not own any other broadcast or media interests in the Chicago market.  v 4. Our independent analysis confirms that more than 30 independent broadcast voices will  d(#[continue to serve the thirdranked Chicago DMA after consummation of the transactions proposed here.  d(#.Additionally, in light of the facts that WCFJ is currently in bankruptcy proceedings and that the station  d(#Ohas been silent since March 13, 1997, the applicants have demonstrated that WCFJ meets the  S - d(#Commission's criterion for a "failed station." See Carlos J. Lastra, Trustee, 10 FCC Rcd 7163 (1995);  S-KEXB, Inc., Debtor, 7 FCC Rcd 3209 (1992). "V ,l(l(,,M"Ԍ v 5. In view of these findings, we find that the applicants have met the necessary standard to  d(#.receive a waiver under the "top 25/30 voice" standard (for both WCFJ and WSBC) and under the "failed  d(#Mstation" standard (for WCFJ) and that waiver is warranted. Additionally, having determined that the  d(#[applicants are otherwise qualified, we find that grant of the assignment applications will serve the public interest, convenience, and necessity.  v 6. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That the request for permanent waiver of the Commission's  d(#Lone to a market rule, 47 C.F.R. 73.3555(c), to allow common ownership and operation of WPWR(TV),  d(#Gary, Indiana, WCFJ(AM), Chicago Heights, Illinois, and WSBC(AM), Chicago, Illinois, IS GRANTED.  d(#IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the application (File No. BAL971117EG) to assign the license of  d(#station WCFJ(AM), Chicago Heights, Illinois, from Liberty Temple Full Gospel, Church, Inc., Debtorin S- d(#Possession, to WCFJ, Inc. IS GRANTED,$ yO7 - d(#ԍ Commission records reflect that the station has been off the air since March 13, 1997. Therefore, the license  {O - d(#hfor WCFJ will expire as a matter of law if the station does not resume broadcast operations by March 13, 1998. See  {O -Pub.
