**MEDIA BUREAU ANNOUNCES PERMIT-BUT-DISCLOSE EX PARTE STATUS FOR
APPLICATIONS SEEKING CONSENT TO ASSIGN BROADCAST TELEVISION LICENSES
OWNED BY CLEAR CHANNEL COMMUNICATIONS, INC.**

On May 7, 2007, applications were filed seeking Commission consent to
assign the licenses of 35 full-power broadcast television licenses and
associated low-power television or television translator licenses from 7
wholly owned subsidiaries of Clear Channel Communications, Inc., to TV
Acquisition LLC. On May 9, 2007, the Media Bureau issued a Broadcast
Actions Public Notice (*Broadcast Applications*, Report No. 26482)
announcing that the applications had been accepted for filing and
establishing a pleading cycle to permit interested parties an
opportunity to comment on the proposed transaction. The petition-to-deny
period for these applications ends at close of business on June 8, 2007.
47 C.F.R. §73.3584(a).

Applications for consent to assign broadcast licenses and authorizations
are subject, unless otherwise provided, to treatment by the Commission
as restricted proceedings for ex parte purposes under Section 1.1208 of
the Commission's rules. 47 C.F.R. §1.1208. We have concluded, however,
that classifying this proceeding as permit-but-disclose would, in this
case, serve the public interest. Accordingly, by this Public Notice, and
pursuant to Section 1.1200(a) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.
§1.1200(a), we announce that the ex parte procedures applicable to
nonrestricted proceedings will govern our consideration of the instant
applications. See 47 C.F.R. §1.1206.

Permit-but-disclose ex parte procedures permit interested parties to
make ex parte presentations to the Commissioners and Commission
employees and require that these presentations be disclosed in the
record of the relevant proceeding. Persons making a written ex parte
presentation to the Commissioners or Commission employees must file the
written presentation with the Commission Secretary no later than the
next business day after the presentation. 47 C.F.R. §1.1206(b)(1).
Persons making oral ex parte presentations must file a summary of the
presentation no later than the next business day after the presentation.
47 C.F.R. §1.1206(b)(2). All ex parte filings must be clearly labeled as
such and must reference this Public Notice, DA 07-2124.

An original and one copy of all ex parte written presentations and
memoranda must be filed with the Commission's Secretary. Copies sent by
First Class Mail, Express Mail and Priority Mail, must be sent to:
