                  NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE

   Adopted: December 13, 2007 Released: December 13, 2007

   By the Chief, Investigations and Hearings Division:

   I.  INTRODUCTION

    1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), issued
       pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended (the "Act"), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's rules, we
       find Multicultural Radio Broadcasting Licensee, LLC ("Multicultural"),
       licensee of Station KAZN(AM), Pasadena, California (the "Station"),
       liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $12,000 for its
       repeated and willful violation of Section 73.1216 of the Commission's
       rules by failing to "fully and accurately disclose the material terms
       of contest[s] . . . and conduct the contest[s] substantially as
       announced or advertised."

   II.  BACKGROUND

    2. The Commission received a complaint, dated January 8, 2006 (the
       "Complaint"), alleging that the Station failed to conduct three
       separate contests in accordance with their advertised material terms
       and the Commission's rules. The first of these contests, the "Sunny
       Plaza Contest," was a raffle held in conjunction with the grand
       opening of a local mall in the Summer of 2001. The second, the "Golden
       Nugget Contest," was a call-in program in which listeners called in
       and were asked a question; and if they answered correctly, they were
       awarded a gift certificate for a three-day and two-night stay at the
       Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. This second
       contest ran from April 17 through July 2, 2003, and a total of eight
       gift certificates were awarded during that period. The third contest,
       the "Station Anniversary Contest," was held during a Station event to
       celebrate the one-year anniversary of one of the Station's radio
       programs. It was held at the Chinese Culture Center on August 17,
       2003, and promoted on the air.

    3. Specifically, according to the Complaint, the Station broadcast the
       Sunny Plaza Grand Opening Event live and it was hosted by Station
       employee Kenny Ki and the Station's Sales Manager, Ruby Kuen. The
       Complainant alleges that Ms. Kuen manipulated the prize drawings in
       the Sunny Plaza Contest so that the top four contest prizes were
       awarded to the four Station employees who were present at the event,
       which included Ms. Kuen herself. The Complainant also alleges that the
       Golden Nugget Contest was not conducted as advertised because Station
       employees and personal friends of Ms. Kuen purported to be members of
       the general listening audience for purposes of the contest, and that
       these individuals called into Ms. Kuen's program from telephone lines
       located within the Station's studio. The Complainant claims that Ms.
       Kuen then knowingly selected these employees and friends to win the
       Golden Nugget Contest prizes, to the detriment of the general
       listening audience. With respect to the Station Anniversary Contest,
       the Complainant alleges that five television sets were advertised as
       giveaway prizes for the contest, but that only one television set was
       awarded as a prize during that event.

    4. Based on the allegations contained in the Complaint, the Enforcement
       Bureau ("Bureau") sent a letter of inquiry (the "LOI") to the Licensee
       on October 31, 2006. The Licensee responded by letter dated January 3,
       2007 (the "LOI Response"). In its LOI Response, Multicultural denies
       that the Station sponsored, planned, organized, or conducted the Sunny
       Plaza Contest. It states that the contest was sponsored by the Sunny
       Plaza shopping mall and conducted by Sunny Plaza staff, and that,
       contrary to the Complainant's allegation, Station personnel did not
       receive any prizes. Multicultural claims that the "Station's only
       involvement in the prize giveaway was limited to two of its deejays
       (Kenny Ki and Ruby Kuen) making the on-air announcement of the prize
       winners" from its on-site location during the event. Multicultural
       admits that a Station employee and the wife of another Station
       employee each participated in, and won, a prize in the Golden Nugget
       Contest, and that Ms. Kuen was given the winning prize by another
       winner in the Golden Nugget Contest. Multicultural claims that none of
       these prize certificates was redeemed for a prize. In a statement
       attached to the LOI Response, Ms. Kuen states that she "was not in
       charge of the equipment, when a call-in number [was] blinking, [sic]
       she would not know who is calling in." With respect to the Station
       Anniversary Contest, Multicultural acknowledges that it awarded only
       two (and not one, as alleged by the Complainant) of the five
       televisions advertised for the Station Anniversary Contest, but argues
       that it is not responsible for that circumstance because the prize
       sponsor failed to deliver the five prizes as promised to the Station.

    5. Because the Licensee's responses to the LOI were incomplete, the
       Bureau sent a supplemental letter of inquiry ("Supplemental LOI") to
       the Licensee on March 19, 2007. Multicultural responded on March 30,
       2007 ("Supplemental LOI Response"). In its Supplemental LOI Response,
       Multicultural states that Station employees and their families and
       friends are not permitted to participate in or receive a prize in
       connection with any contest sponsored or broadcast by the Station.
       Despite Multicultural's discovery during its investigation of the
       allegations in this case that an employee and a family member of an
       employee were awarded prizes, the Licensee denies knowledge of any
       deviation from its policy. Multicultural maintains that Station
       employees are informed of the policy by their supervisors and, in
       turn, are responsible for relaying this information to their families
       and friends. Furthermore, Multicultural states:

   [T]he Station has mandatory guidelines that require that the written rules
   for any on-air contest, promotion and give-away must include: a
   description of who is eligible to participate in the contest; a
   description of what will be required of contestants in order to be
   eligible for winning the prizes in the contest; an exact description of
   each prize to be awarded; clear and concise instructions about what a
   winner must do to claim his or her prize; and what information a prize
   winner must provide to the Station, or the holder of the prize, in order
   to claim the prize."

   II.  DISCUSSION

    6. Section 503(b)(1) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the
       "Act"), states that any person who willfully or repeatedly fails to
       comply with any provision of the Act or any rule, regulation, or order
       issued by the Commission shall be liable to the United States for a
       monetary forfeiture penalty. In order to impose such a forfeiture
       penalty, the Commission must issue a notice of apparent liability, the
       notice must be received, and the person against whom the notice has
       been issued must have an opportunity to show, in writing, why no such
       forfeiture penalty should be imposed. The Commission may then issue a
       forfeiture if it finds by a preponderance of the evidence that the
       person has violated the Act or a Commission rule. As discussed below,
       we conclude that, under this standard, Multicultural is apparently
       liable for a forfeiture for its apparent willful and repeated
       violation of Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules.

    7. Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules provides that "[a] licensee
       that broadcasts or advertises information about a contest it conducts
       shall fully and accurately disclose the material terms of the contest,
       and shall conduct the contest substantially as announced or
       advertised. No contest description shall be false, misleading or
       deceptive with respect to any material term." Material terms "include
       those factors which define the operation of the contest and which
       affect participation therein." Although the material terms may vary
       widely depending on the exact nature of the contest, they will
       generally include: "[instructions on] how to enter or participate;
       eligibility restrictions; entry deadline dates; whether prizes can be
       won; when prizes can be won; the extent, nature and value of prizes;
       basis for valuation of prizes; time and means of selection of winners;
       and/or tie-breaking procedures." While the time and manner of
       disclosure of the material terms of a contest are within the
       licensee's discretion, the Commission's contest rule dictates that
       "the obligation to disclose the material terms arises at the time the
       audience is first told how to enter or participate and continues
       thereafter" and that "[t]he material terms should be disclosed
       periodically by announcements broadcast on the station conducting the
       contest."

    8. Licensees, as public trustees, have the affirmative obligation to
       prevent the broadcast of false, misleading, or deceptive contest
       announcements, and to conduct their contests substantially as
       announced. The Commission has noted that "[t]he standards are high,
       for while contests are particularly susceptible to abuse, abuses can
       be prevented by diligent licensee attention to the planning and the
       conduct of contests." Here, the evidence indicates that the station
       did not award prizes as announced in a certain contest. It also failed
       to exercise diligence in conducting another contest when station
       employees manipulated the process to benefit themselves or their
       relatives and friends, in violation of the contest rules. Below, we
       analyze each of the three contests - the Sunny Plaza Contest, the
       Golden Nugget Contest, and the Station Anniversary Contest.

    9. Sunny Plaza Contest. The Licensee denies the Complainant's allegations
       regarding the Sunny Plaza contest. It states that it did not conduct
       the contest, and its only involvement was announcing the contest
       winners. Multicultural's statement that it was hired only to broadcast
       the Sunny Plaza event, including the contest drawing, and that it did
       not conduct or sponsor the contest is confirmed by the overall record
       evidence. Accordingly, because this contest is not a
       licensee-conducted contest under Section 73.1216, we deny the
       Complaint with respect to this contest.

   10. Golden Nugget Contest. In response to our LOI request for all
       available information and documentation regarding the material terms
       of the Golden Nugget Contest, the Licensee submitted only a memorandum
       outlining the Golden Nugget Contest promotions that were aired over
       the Station. Multicultural contends that this memorandum is a copy of
       its rules for several contests; however, the memorandum does not
       provide most of the material terms of the contests. Specifically, it
       does not discuss eligibility requirements, including whether Station
       employees and their families were eligible to enter or win prizes in
       the contests. Although Multicultural claims to have broadcast contest
       rules for the Golden Nugget Contest prior to contest drawings, it
       acknowledges that eligibility was not addressed. It is clear from the
       Commission's contest rule that eligibility restrictions are material
       terms that must be announced. The Station's argument that employees
       are expected to know they are ineligible is unavailing since the rules
       require announcement, which the Station admittedly failed to do.

   11. Furthermore, even if we assume that the Station was diligent in
       announcing its eligibility restrictions, it appears the Station's
       employees manipulated the results of the contest despite any
       countervailing rule. Multicultural admits that at least two prize
       certificates for a three-day and two-night stay at the Golden Nugget
       Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas were given to ineligible participants:
       (1) Zhang Hai-Hong, the wife of Station employee Ning Gao; and (2)
       Judy Lin, a sales associate at the Station. This result was to the
       ultimate detriment of members of the listening public who participated
       in the contest, a violation of the rules Multicultural asserts
       governed all its contests.

   12. In the LOI Response, Station Sales Manager Ruby Kuen denies knowing
       the identities of the people calling in to the program she hosted in
       order to participate in the Golden Nugget Contest. This does not
       change the fact that the Station awarded prizes to ineligible
       participants or the fact that at least one of the participants was an
       employee and therefore an agent of the Station. Multicultural argues
       that the award of the prize certificates to the ineligible
       participants does not violate our contest rule because the prize
       certificates were not redeemed. Even if true, the Commission's rules
       were still violated because the Station failed to conduct its contest
       in conformity with its own contest rules. Further, we note that the
       record does not demonstrate that Multicultural ever awarded these
       prizes to eligible participants, effectively reducing the advertised
       number of contest prizes. Given the foregoing, we find that the
       Licensee failed to conduct the Golden Nugget Contest in accordance
       with the material terms of that contest, failed to disclose all
       material terms, and failed to conduct the contest substantially as
       advertised, in violation of Section 73.1216.

   13. Station Anniversary Contest. The Licensee admits that it promoted the
       Station Anniversary Contest by advertising that it would award five
       televisions as contest prizes, but that, in actuality, only two
       televisions were awarded. The Licensee's justification for its failure
       is that the prize donor donated only two televisions instead of the
       five that were promised. A prize donor's failure to honor its promise
       to a station, however, does not relieve the station of its duty to
       conduct a contest as advertised and to honor its promise to the
       public. The "extent, nature and value of prizes" are material terms
       under Section 73.1216, and, consequently, the number of televisions
       awarded is a material term of the Station Anniversary Contest. We
       therefore find that the Licensee failed to conduct its Station
       Anniversary Contest substantially as advertised and, thus, violated
       Section 73.1216.

   14. In sum, we find that Multicultural willfully and repeatedly violated
       Section 73.1216 of the Commission's rules in the Golden Nugget Contest
       and the Station Anniversary Contest. Specifically, Multicultural
       violated Section 73.1216 with respect to the Golden Nugget Contest
       when it failed to announce eligibility requirements for the contest
       and when it awarded prizes to Station employees and their families and
       friends in at least two instances. We also find that Multicultural
       violated Section 73.1216 with respect to the Station Anniversary
       Contest when it failed to conduct the contest substantially as
       advertised, awarding two prizes instead of five.

   15. The Commission's Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of the
       Commission's rules specify a base forfeiture amount of $4,000 for
       violation of Section 73.1216. In assessing the monetary forfeiture
       amount, we must take into account the statutory factors set forth in
       Section 503(b)(2)(D) of the Act, which include the nature,
       circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation, and, with respect
       to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior
       offenses, ability to pay, and other such matters as justice may
       require. Here, we find that the Licensee apparently violated Section
       73.1216 of the Commission's rules multiple times in two distinct
       contests. Further, the Forfeiture Policy Statement and Section 1.80 of
       the Commission's rules provide that base forfeitures may be adjusted
       based upon consideration of the factors enumerated in Section
       503(b(2)(D) of the Act and Section 1.80(a)(4) of the Commission's
       rules which include, among other reasons, egregious misconduct,
       intentional violation, substantial harm, and repeated or continuous
       violation. We find that the multiple contest violations in this case
       that occurred on various dates between April 17 through July 2, 2003
       with respect to the Golden Nugget Contest, and the violation on August
       17, 2003 with respect to the Station Anniversary Contest, demonstrate
       a pattern of violative conduct with regard to the Licensee's
       administration of its contests. We further find that the Station's
       conduct with respect to the Golden Nugget Contest was particularly
       egregious, in that multiple prizes were awarded to and received by
       Station employees or their family members or friends. Accordingly, we
       find that an upward adjustment of the base forfeiture amount is
       appropriate in this case and propose a forfeiture of $12,000 for the
       Licensee's apparent violations of Section 73.1216 of the Commission's
       rules.

   III.   ORDERING CLAUSES
