MEMORANDUM OPINION & ORDER
Adopted: July 24, 2000 Released: July 26, 2000
By the Commission:
In this Memorandum Opinion & Order, we rescind two Notices of
Apparent Liability for monetary forfeiture issued to Americom Las
Vegas Ltd. Partnership (``Americom''), former licensee of Station
KFBI(FM), Pahrump, NV, for the broadcast of indecent material on
the ``Howard Stern Show'' on various dates beginning November 10,
1992, and ending October 12, 1993, between approximately 6 a.m.
and 11 a.m. Americom Las Vegas Ltd. Partnership (KFBI(FM)), 8
FCC Rcd 6790 (1993) and Americom Las Vegas Ltd. Partnership
(KFBI(FM)), 9 FCC Rcd 1753 (1994) (hereinafter collectively
referred to as ``NALs'').
The Commission issued the NALs on August 12, 1993, and February
1, 1994. The licensee filed responses on October 15, 1993, and
April 4, 1994, respectively. A significant amount of time has
elapsed since the issuance of the NALs and since the 1992 and
1993 broadcasts of the material at issue. Moreover, Station
KFBI(FM) has been assigned and is no longer licensed to Americom.
Under these circumstances, we have determined not to issue
forfeiture orders. However, our decision today in no way
condones the broadcast of the material at issue in these NALs.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that the above-referenced NALs issued
to Americom Las Vegas Ltd. Partnership are hereby RESCINDED and
the pending responses to such NALs are DISMISSED AS MOOT.
