     We approve these assignments and transfers because we find they are in the public interest,
convenience, and necessity.  47 U.S.C.  310(d).  By this approval, the parties are authorized to proceed to
the final stages of their respective transactions.  Section 24.839(b)(4) of the Commission's rules provides
that "the Commission shall be notified by letter of the date of completion of the assignment or transfer of
control."  47 C.F.R. 24.839(b)(4).  Hence, we remind parties that an assignment or transfer shall not be
considered complete until the underlying transaction closes and all conditions set forth in the grant
documents, including this Public Notice and the application, are met.  In addition, the approval of each
assignment is also conditioned upon the execution of all Commission loan documents by the assignor,
assignee and the Commission, unless the license being assigned has been paid in full.  Furthermore, unless
the license being assigned has been paid in full, the approval is conditioned upon the assignee's execution of
the applicable financing statements (i.e. the UCC-1 Forms) and payment of all costs associated with the
preparation and recordation of the financing statements, on or before the consummation date.  Where
applicable, the Bureau will send all assignors listed herein the appropriate loan documents and financing
statements following the release of this Public Notice.   Additionally, all installment payments must be
current on the consummation date.  Upon receipt of the letter required by section 24.839(b)(4) of the
Commission's rules, and satisfaction of all requisite conditions, including execution of the appropriate
documents, the Bureau will consider the assignment "complete" and will issue the license to the assignee
with the date of the license grant identical to the date upon which the transaction closed, thus completing
the assignment.

     Failure of the parties to comply with section 24.839(b)(4) of the Commission's rules, or any
specific condition described above, will result in automatic cancellation of the Commission's assignment or
transfer approval, and dismissal of the underlying assignment or transfer applications.  In addition, the
actual assignment or transfer of the authorization must be completed within sixty days from the date of this
Public Notice.

     For further information regarding the loan documents or financing statements (UCC-1 Forms),
contact Rita Cookmeyer or Rachel Kazan at (202) 418-0660.  For all other information, please contact
David Judelsohn at (202) 418-7240.
