MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER
Adopted: July 26, 2000 Released: July 27, 2000
By the Enforcement Bureau:
In this Memorandum Opinion & Order, we rescind a Notice of
Apparent Liability for a monetary forfeiture issued to Flambo
Broadcasting, Inc., former licensee of Station KFMH-FM,
Muscatine, Iowa, for the broadcast of indecent material on the
morning of August 30, 1991. Flambo Broadcasting, Inc. (KFMH-FM),
9 FCC Rcd 1681 (MMB 1994) (``NAL'').
The Mass Media Bureau issued the NAL on April 1, 1994, and the
licensee filed a response on April 25, 1994. A significant
amount of time has elapsed since the issuance of the NAL and
since the 1991 broadcast of the material at issue. Moreover,
Station KFMH-FM has been assigned and is no longer licensed to
Flambo Broadcasting, Inc. Under these circumstances, we have
determined not to issue a forfeiture order. See Americom Las
Vegas Ltd. Partnership (KFBI(FM)), FCC 00-267, released July 26,
2000. However, our decision today in no way condones the
broadcast of the material at issue.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that the above-referenced NAL issued
to Flambo Broadcasting, Inc. is hereby RESCINDED and the pending
response to the NAL is DISMISSED AS MOOT.
