                                     ORDER

   Adopted: July 1, 2009 Released: July 1, 2009

   By the Chief, Investigations and Hearings Division, Enforcement Bureau:

    1. In this Order, we adopt the attached Consent Decree entered into by
       the Enforcement Bureau ("Bureau") and the Greater Hardin Association
       ("GHA") (collectively, the "Parties"). The Consent Decree terminates
       an investigation by the Bureau for possible violations of Sections
       73.858 and 73.860 Commission's Rules regarding the ownership of low
       power FM Station KRWS-LP, Hardin Montana and "The Original Briefs," a
       newspaper circulated in Hardin, Montana.

    2. The Parties have negotiated the terms of the Consent Decree that
       resolve this matter. A copy of the Consent Decree is attached hereto
       and incorporated herein by reference.

    3. After reviewing the terms of the Consent Decree and evaluating the
       facts before us, we find that the public interest would be served by
       adopting the Consent Decree and terminating the investigation.

    4. In the absence of material new evidence relating to this matter, we
       conclude that our investigation raises no substantial or material
       questions of fact as to whether GHA possesses the basic qualifications
       including, but not limited to, those related to character, to hold or
       obtain any Commission license or authorization.

    5. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section 4(i) of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Sections 0.111 and 0.311
       of the Commission's Rules, the Consent Decree attached to this Order
       IS ADOPTED.

    6. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned investigation IS
       TERMINATED.

    7. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the third-party complaint before the
       Enforcement Bureau filed against GHA regarding the above-captioned
       investigation as of the date of this Consent Decree IS DISMISSED.

    8. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order and Consent Decree
       shall be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, and certified
       mail, return receipt requested, to Greater Hardin Association, 212
       North Center Ave., Hardin, Montana 59034.
