FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 01-930; MM Docket No. 89-120, RM-6701, 6999, 7000, 7001]


FM Broadcasting Services; Northwye, Cuba, Waynesville, Lake 
Ozark, and Eldon, MO

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; petition for reconsideration.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In MM Docket No. 89-120, the Commission dismissed as moot the 
petition for reconsideration filed by Lake Broadcasting, Inc., licensee 
of Station KBMX(FM), Channel 270A (101.9 MHz), Eldon, Missouri, and 
grantee of the construction permit for Station KFXE (FM), Channel 271A 
(102.1), Cuba, Missouri. Lake had requested reconsideration of the 
Report and Order, 57 FR 6561, published February 26, 1992. The 
Commission dismissed Lake's petition for reconsideration following the 
denial of certiorari by the U.S. Supreme Court in Lake's appeal of the 
revocation of its licenses and construction permits. See Contemporary 
Media, Inc., et al., v. Federal Communications Commission, 214 F. 3d 
187 (D.C. Cir 2000), cert. denied, 532 U.S. ____ (2001). Michael Rice, 
Lake's sole owner and president, had been convicted of the felonies of 
deviate sexual conduct and sodomy of minors. Lake and other licensees 
owned or controlled by Rice also made repeated misrepresentations to 
the Commission as to Rice's continued involvement with their stations. 
With this action, the proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective May 1, 2001.
