                                     ORDER

   Adopted: April 4, 2008 Released: April 4, 2008

   By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:

    1. A Petition for Reconsideration of the Commission's Forfeiture Order in
       this proceeding was filed on March 24, 2008 by Fox Entertainment
       Group, Inc. and licensees of television broadcast stations affiliated
       with the Fox Television Network ("Petitioners"). For the reasons
       discussed below, we return it without consideration.

    2. Petitioners acknowledge that their Petition for Reconsideration
       exceeds the applicable page limits for summaries and petitions for
       reconsideration set forth in the Commission's rules, and ask for a
       waiver of those page limits. The Commission's rules, however,
       explicitly require that requests for permission to file pleadings,
       such as petitions for reconsideration, in excess of the length
       prescribed by the Commission's rules must be filed under these
       circumstances "at least ten days before the filing date." Petitioners
       neither complied with this rule nor sought a waiver of this rule.
       Moreover, they offer no explanation whatsoever for their failure to
       comply with this rule.

    3. ACCORDINGLY, we DENY petitioners' request to exceed the applicable
       page limit and RETURN PETITIONERS' PLEADING WITHOUT CONSIDERATION in
       accordance with the Commission's rules.
