MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted:  September 7, 2012 Released:  September 10, 2012
By the Commission: 
1. The Commission has before it an Application for Review filed on April 10, 2008, by 
several listeners (collectively, “Petitioners”) of noncommercial educational Station WKCP(FM) (formerly 
WMCU(FM)), Miami, Florida (“Station”).  Petitioners seek review of the Media Bureau’s (“Bureau”) 
March 12, 2008, decision1 which denied their Petition to Deny2 (“Petition”) and granted the above-
captioned application filed by Trinity International Foundation, Inc. (“Trinity”) for consent to assign the 
Station’s license3 to American Public Media Group (“APMG”).  In the Staff Decision, the Bureau 
reviewed each argument of the Petitioners and found that none raised a substantial and material question of 
fact warranting further inquiry.  
  
1 Dennis Kelly, Esq., Letter, 23 FCC Rcd 4000 (MB 2008) (“Staff Decision”).
2 Petitioners argued in the Petition to Deny that the assignment application was defective because Trinity had 
allegedly (1) failed to comply with the Commission’s public notice requirements; (2) failed to file an ownership 
report for its parent organizations; (3) failed to disclose the entire agreement between itself and APMG; (4) failed to 
provide hourly station identifications during a three-week period in October 2007; (5) engaged in the fraudulent 
solicitation of donations; and (6) changed the Station’s format from Christian programming to classical music.  The 
Staff Decision also addressed complaints raised in several hundred postcard-style informal objections that Trinity 
failed to provide access to the Station’s public inspection file and found these allegations unsubstantiated.  Petitioner 
seeks review of enumerated issues (1), (2), (3) and (5) only.
3 FM Translator Station W270AD, West Palm Beach, Florida, was also assigned to APMG as part of the transaction.  
See File No. BALED-20070928ADQ.

2. Upon careful review of the Application for Review and the entire record, we conclude 
that Petitioners have failed to demonstrate that the Bureau erred.4 The Media Bureau properly decided 
the matters raised, and we uphold its decision for the reasons stated in its Staff Decision.
3. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 5(c)(5) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 155(c)(5), and section 1.115(g) of the 
Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.115(g), the Application for Review ARE DENIED.

4 In particular, we note that the Bureau correctly determined that Petitioners’ complaint about Trinity’s solicitation 
of donations asserts a claim under state law (i.e., a claim for breach of contract or breach of fiduciary duty) that is 
beyond the scope of this proceeding and therefore must be resolved in a local court of competent jurisdiction.  
Although adjudicated civil misrepresentations may be considered on a case-by-case basis under Commission 
precedent, Staff Decision, 23 FCC Rcd at 4007 n. 63, citing Policy Regarding Character Qualifications in Broadcast 
Licensing, Memorandum Opinion and Order, 6 FCC Rcd 3448, 3448-49 para. 6 (1991), the Bureau was faced here 
with a pending claim that since has been dismissed.  See Gary Mathews and Lillian S. Delgado v. Trinity Int’l Univ., 
Inc., Order Granting Summary Judgment in Case 07-22928-CIV-Hoeveler (S.D.Fla. Sept. 4, 2009).
