                        FORFEITURE ORDER

Adopted:  October 27, 2003                             Released:  
October 29, 2003

By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:

     1.   In  this  Forfeiture  Order  (``Order''),  we  issue  a 
          monetary  forfeiture in  the amount  of seven  thousand 
          dollars  ($7,000)   to  Radio   Centre  Inc.   (``Radio 
          Centre''), licensee  of WAGC(AM), Centre, Alabama,  for 
          willful violation of Section 73.49 of the  Commission's 
          Rules  (``Rules'').1   The  noted  violation   involves 
          failing to enclose  the station's antenna tower  within 
          an effective locked fence.

     2.   On  April  15,  2003,  the  District  Director  of  the 
Commission's Atlanta, Georgia  Field Office (``Atlanta  Office'') 
issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') in 
the amount  of $7,000  to Radio  Centre.2  Radio  Centre has  not 
filed a response to the NAL.  Based on the information before us, 
we affirm the forfeiture.  

     3.   Finally, we note  that it  is unclear  from the  record 
before us what steps, if any,  Radio Centre has taken to  correct 
the violation cited in the NAL and to ensure that this  violation 
does not  recur in  the future.   Accordingly, we  will  require, 
pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934,  as 
amended, (``Act''),3 that  Radio Centre  submit a  report to  the 
Enforcement Bureau within 30  days of the  release of this  order 
outlining what measures it has taken or will take to correct  the 
violation and  ensure that  it does  not recur.   Radio  Centre's 
report  must  be  submitted  in  the  form  of  an  affidavit  or 
declaration.4  

     4.   ACCORDINGLY, IT IS  ORDERED that,  pursuant to  Section 
503(b) of the Act,5 and  Sections 0.111, 0.311 and 1.80(f)(4)  of 
the  Rules,6  Radio  Centre,  Inc.  IS  LIABLE  FOR  A   MONETARY 
FORFEITURE in  the  amount  of  $7,000  for  willfully  violating 
Section 73.49 of the Rules.

     5.   Payment of the forfeiture shall  be made in the  manner 
provided for in Section 1.80 of  the Rules within 30 days of  the 
release of this Order.  If the forfeiture is not paid within  the 
period specified, the case may  be referred to the Department  of 
Justice for collection  pursuant to Section  504(a) of the  Act.7  
Payment shall be made by  mailing a check or similar  instrument, 
payable  to   the   order   of   the   ``Federal   Communications 
Commission,'' to the Federal Communications Commission, P.O.  Box 
73482, Chicago,  Illinois 60673-7482.   The payment  should  note 
NAL/Acct. No. 200332480021  and FRN  0007-3964-19.  Requests  for 
full payment under an installment plan should be sent to:  Chief, 
Revenue and Receivables Operations Group, 445 12th Street,  S.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20554.8

     6.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Section  308(b) 
of the Act, Radio Centre,  Inc. must submit the report  described 
in paragraph 3 no  later than thirty (30)  days from the date  of 
release of  this order  to:  Federal  Communications  Commission, 
Enforcement  Bureau,  Spectrum  Enforcement  Division,  445  12th 
Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.  20554, Attention:  Carmen Suarez.

     7.        IT IS FURTHER  ORDERED that a  copy of this  Order 
shall be  sent by  first  class mail  and certified  mail  return 
receipt requested, to  Radio Centre Inc.,  P.O. Box 602,  Centre,
