BLESSED HOPE BAPTIST MISSION has filed for an extension of its Silent STA for KSVJ/SEWARD, AK while it applies to move to a new site.

ROGER CHASTEEN's ABS COMMUNICATIONS, INC. has closed on the sale of Contemporary Christian KTFR/CHELSEA, OK, Contemporary Christian KEMX/LOCUST GROVE, OK, and Contemporary Christian KCXR/TAFT, OK to JOSE ESTEBAN TORRES and JOSE D. MOGUEL's KEY PLUS BROADCASTING, LLC for $800,000.  The three stations ring the TULSA market.

The license of EDGEWATER BROADCASTING, INC. for K300BT/ALLIANCE, NE has been cancelled as per the licensee's request.

The receiver for PAPPAS RADIO OF CALIFORNIA, SUSAN L. UECKER, has asked the FCC to dismiss her application to sell Spanish Sports KTRB-A (ESPN DEPORTES 860)/SAN FRANCISCO to N. JOHN DOUGLAS' U.S. INTERNATIONAL RADIO, LLC for $6.5 million.  The station is being programmed by DEPORTES MEDIA under a five-year LMA with option to buy, but U.S. INTERNATIONAL made an unsolicited offer for the station.  DEPORTES MEDIA filed a Petition to Deny the sale, arguing that its right to match the U.S. INTERNATIONAL offer continued to be in effect after the proposed assignee failed to deposit $500,000 into escrow as delineated in the offer, which, DEPORTES MEDIA proposed, made the deal still contingent and the application premature.  UECKER had argued in turn that DEPORTES MEDIA lacked standing to object to the sale and that the matter was in any event a contractual dispute beyond the FCC's jurisdiction.

And the Commission and BUCKNELL UNIVERSITY have entered a consent decree to resolve public file violations -- missing quarterly issues/programs lists and relocation of the file from the main studio to another spot on campus -- at WVBU/LEWISBURG, PA.  BUCKNELL will pay a $2,200 civil penalty for the violations, and the file location rule has been waived to permit the relocation.
