FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION

47 CFR Part 73

[DA 01-1017; MM Docket No. 91-352; RM-7866]


Radio Broadcasting Services; Ava, Branson and Mountain Grove, MO

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Final rule; petition for reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: The Commission dismissed as moot the petition for 
reconsideration filed by Lake Broadcasting, Inc., licensee of Station 
KBMX(FM), Channel 270A, Eldon, Missouri, and permittee for Station 
KFXE(FM), Channel 271A, Cuba, Missouri. Lake has requested 
reconsideration of the Report and Order, 60 FR 62220, published 
December 5, 1995. 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.
