Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Earth Station E000646 FCC Reference: 04RE003682 Dear Ms. Pride: This responds to your letter dated February 27,2004, addressed to Franklin Communications, Inc. (“Franklin”). You state your research indicates that Franklin is licensee of Earth Station E000646, Melbourne, Florida. You state that the Commission has no record of Franklin’s 2003 regulatory fee for Station E000646. For the Commission’s convenience, we are attaching a copy of your February 27,2004 letter. You advise that the current amount due is $210.00 plus a 25% penalty of $52.50 for a total due of $262.50. We have checked with our client, Franklin, and its ultimate parent, Saga Communications, Inc., and have been advised that Franklin does not own or operate Earth Station E000646. After speaking with a representative of the FCC’s International Bureau, we were informed that Earth Station E000646 was licensed to another entity named “Franklin Communications, Inc.”, in 2002. The FCC has an associated address of 4343 Fortune Place, Melbourne, Florida, marked to the attention of Mr. Thomas Grow. We checked the FCC’s CORES database and found no Franklin Communications, Inc., listed in Melbourne, Florida. We are sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Grow. Perhaps he can shed light on the matter.
