                                     ORDER

   Adopted: July 8, 2008 Released: July 10, 2008

   By the Regional Director, South Central Region, Enforcement Bureau:

   I. INTRODUCTION

    1. In this Order, we cancel the proposed forfeiture in the amount of
       twelve thousand dollars ($12,000) issued to David Ryder, Receiver,
       owner of antenna structure numbers 1013175, 1249516, 1249517 and
       1249521, in Melbourne, FL ("Owner") for the apparent willful violation
       of Section 17.47(g) of the Commission's Rules ("Rules") and the
       apparent willful and repeated violation of Section 17.50 of the Rules.
       The noted violations involved Owner's apparent failure to post Antenna
       Structure Registration ("ASR") numbers and failure to paint his
       antenna structures to maintain good visibility.

   III. DISCUSSION

    2. On April 8, 2008, the Commission's Tampa Office of the Enforcement
       Bureau ("Tampa Office") issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for
       Forfeiture to Owner in the amount of twelve thousand dollars
       ($12,000), for the apparent willful violation of Section 17.47(g) of
       the Rules and the apparent willful and repeated violation of Section
       17.50 of the Rules.  Owner filed a response to the NAL requesting that
       the forfeiture be canceled or significantly reduced. Owner argues that
       the violations truly occurred prior to his ownership of the
       structures, because he acquired the antenna structures on September 6,
       2007, three days before the Commission inspection. Owner states that
       the receivership relinquished control of the structures to a party
       unrelated to Twin Towers Broadcasting, Inc. on March 25, 2008, and is
       currently in the process of assembling and prioritizing creditors'
       claims against Twin Towers Broadcasting, Inc. Owner asserts that
       requiring full payment of the forfeiture would harm innocent
       creditors. Based on the totality of the circumstances, we cancel the
       NAL.

   IV. ORDERING CLAUSES

    3. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111, 0.311 and
       1.80(f)(4) of the Commission's Rules, the Notice of Apparent Liability
       for Forfeiture issued to David Ryder, Receiver for violation of
       Sections 17.4(g) and 17.50 of the Rules IS HEREBY CANCELED.

    4. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall be sent by First
       Class and Certified Mail Return Receipt Requested to David Ryder,
       Receiver at his address of record.
