                         FORFEITURE ORDER


   Adopted:  April 13, 1999             Released:  April 15, 1999

By the Chief, Mass Media Bureau:

     1.  The Chief, Mass Media Bureau, acting pursuant to authority delegated by Section 0.283 of the
Commission's Rules, released on July 30, 1998, a Notice of Apparent Liability ("NAL") to King
Broadcasters, Inc. ("King") for willful and repeated violations of Section 310(d) of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  310(d), and Section 73.3540 of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.
 73.3540.  Ms. Sally Hoskins, President, 13 FCC Rcd 25317 (MMB 1998).  As set forth in detail in
Hoskins, King apparently transferred, without prior Commission approval, control of Stations KSLD(AM)
and KKIS-FM, Soldotna, Alaska, to Chester P. Coleman and then to KSRM, Inc.

     2.  The NAL was sent by certified mail pursuant to Section 1.80(f)(2) of the Commission's Rules,
47 C.F.R.  1.80(f)(2), and received by King on August 3, 1998.  King neither paid the forfeiture nor filed
a response to the NAL.  Pursuant to Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.80(f)(4),
if the proposed forfeiture is not paid in full, the Commission, upon consideration of all relevant information
available, has the authority to issue an order reducing or cancelling the proposed forfeiture or requiring that
it be paid in full.  Inasmuch as the only information available resulted in the proposed forfeiture and that
information remains unchanged since the issuance of the NAL, we find that payment of the forfeiture in full
is appropriate.

     3.  Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  503(b), King Broadcasters, Inc. FORFEIT to the United States the sum
of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for willful and repeated violations of Section 310(d) of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  310(d), and Section 73.3540 of the Commission's
Rules, 47 C.F.R.  73.3540.  Payment of the forfeiture may be made by mailing to the Commission a check
or similar instrument payable to the Federal Communications Commission.
     4.  IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that a copy of this Forfeiture Order be sent by Certified Mail -
Return Receipt Requested to King Broadcasters, Inc.
