Re: Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No.
333-25263) of Capstar Broadcasting Partners, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933,
Capstar Broadcasting Partners, Inc. (the "Company") respectfully requests the
Commission's consent to the withdrawal of the Company's Registration Statement
on Form S-1, File No. 333-25263 (the "Registration Statement") and further
requests that the Commission enter an order granting such withdrawal. The
Company no longer intends to pursue the initial public offering of its common
stock, the registration of which was contemplated by the Registration
Statement, due to the reorganization of the Company in which it became a
majority-owned subsidiary of Capstar Broadcasting Corporation.
Upon the grant of the Commission's consent hereto, please return a
dated copy of the order granting such withdrawal to the undersigned, which
order shall state "Withdrawn upon the request of the registrant, the Commission
consenting thereto" and be placed in the file for the Registration Statement.
Please direct all inquires to Mr. Greg Hidalgo (of Vinson & Elkins
L.L.P., counsel to the Company) at (214) 220-7959 or me at (512) 340-7800.
Sincerely,
CAPSTAR BROADCASTING PARTNERS, INC.
