MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted: August 8, 2007 Released: August 10, 2007
By the Regional Director, South Central Region, Enforcement Bureau:
1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order ("Order"), we cancel three four
thousand dollar ($4,000) notices of apparent liability issued to
Georgia Eagle Broadcasting, Inc., licensee of stations WCEH(AM) and
WRPG(FM) in Hawkinsville, Georgia and station WQXZ(FM) in Pinehurst,
Georgia ("Georgia Eagle"), for willful and repeated violation of
Section 73.3526 of the Commission's Rules ("Rules"). The apparent
violations involved Georgia Eagle's failure to maintain and make
available complete public inspection files. In response to the NALs,
Georgia Eagle stated that it acquired its licenses in early first
quarter 2007 and therefore on May 9, 2007, each station was only
missing an issues programs list for part of one quarter. Based on our
review of Georgia Eagle's response to the NALs and the record, we
cancel the NALs and admonish Georgia Eagle for failing to make
available complete public inspection files for the three stations on
May 9, 2007.
2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 504(b) of the
Communications Act of 1934 as amended, and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the
Rules, the instant Notices of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture,
NAL/Acct. Nos. 20073248010, 200732480011, and 200732480012 ARE
CANCELLED.
3. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Georgia Eagle Broadcasting, Inc., licensee
of stations WCEH(AM), WRPG(FM), and WQXZ(FM) IS ADMONISHED for its
violations of Section 73.3526 of the Rules.
4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this Order shall be sent by regular mail
and by certified mail, return receipt requested, to Georgia Eagle
Broadcasting, Inc. at its address of record and to its counsel, Dan
Alpert, 2120 N. 21st Rd., Arlington, VA 22201.

our response to the NALs.
