 1.  In  this  Order,  we  adopt  the  attached  Consent  Decree  entered  into  between  the  Enforcement  Bureau  and  Ralph  H.  Tyler  (“  Tyler”).  The  Consent  Decree  terminates  an 
 investigation  by  the  Enforcement  Bureau  into  whether  Tyler  misrepresented  facts  to,  or  lacked  candor  with,  the  Commission  regarding  Station  KTSH(  FM),  violated  Sections  1.17  and/  or 
 73.1015  of  the  Commission’s  rules  1  and  engaged  in  related  misconduct. 
 2.  The  Enforcement  Bureau  and  Tyler  have  negotiated  the  terms  of  a  Consent  Decree  that  would  resolve  this  matter  and  terminate  the  investigation.  A  copy  of  the  Consent  Decree  is 
 attached  hereto  and  incorporated  herein  by  reference.

 wrongdoing,  we  conclude  that  no  substantial  or  material  questions  of  fact  exist  as  to  whether  Tyler  possesses  the  basic  qualifications,  including  those  related  to  character,  to  hold,  obtain, 
 assign  or  transfer  any  FCC  license  or  authorization. 
 4.  After  reviewing  the  terms  of  the  Consent  Decree,  we  believe  that  the  public  interest  will  be  served  by  adopting  the  Consent  Decree  and  terminating  the  investigation.
