                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

                                                   Released: January 14, 2008

   By the Resident Agent, Houston Office, South Central Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to LaGrange Broadcasting Corporation,
       licensee of AM radio station KHLT in Hallettsville, Texas.

    2. On December 14, 2007, an agent of the Commission's Houston Office
       inspected radio station KHLT located in Hallettsville, Texas, and
       observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.52(d): "Broadcast stations and cable systems and
        wireless cable systems must monitor two Emergency Alert System
        ("EAS") sources. The monitoring assignment of each broadcast station
        and cable system and wireless cable system are specified in the State
        EAS Plan and FCC Mapbook." At the time of inspection, station KHLT
        was not monitoring station KRNX, one of the required EAS sources.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.58(a): "Each AM station must be equipped with
        indicating instruments which conform with the specifications
        described in S:73.1215 for determining power by the direct and the
        indirect methods, and with other such instruments as are necessary
        for the proper adjustment, operation, and maintenance of the
        transmitting system." At the time of inspection, the common point
        current meter and remote transmission system monitoring equipment
        were malfunctioning, leaving station personnel with no ability to
        determine the station's operating power.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1870(a): "Each AM, FM, TV, or Class A TV broadcast
        station must designate a person to serve as the station's chief
        operator." At the time of inspection, a written designation of a
        chief operator for station KHLT could not be located and station
        personnel were unaware of the requirement to maintain a chief
        operator.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, LaGrange
       Broadcasting Corporation, must submit a written statement concerning
       this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The
       response must fully explain each violation, must contain a statement
       of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude
       recurrence, and should include a time line for completion of pending
       corrective action(s). The response must be complete in itself and
       signed by a principal or officer of the licensee. All replies and
       documentation sent in response to this Notice should be marked with
       the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to the following
       address:

   Federal Communications Commission

    4. This Notice shall be sent to LaGrange Broadcasting Corporation at its
       address of record.

    5. The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that we advise you that the
       Commission will use all relevant material information before it,
       including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine what,
       if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance. Any false
