NORML further alleges that the Networks did not disclose such compensation in violation of the sponsorship identification requirements of 47 U.S.C. §§ 317 and 508, and 47 C.F.R. § 73.1211. The Enforcement Bureau issued letters of inquiry to the Networks on April 18, 2000, and each network filed a separate response.

With respect to our query concerning the prohibition against lottery advertising set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 1304 and 47 C.F.R. § 73.1211, Isothermal further denies that the contest constituted a lottery because, it contends, the station did not require listeners to provide consideration of any type in order to participate.

  • 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the ``Act''), and Section 1.80 of the Commission's Rules (the ``Rules''), by the Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau by authority delegated under Section 0.283 of the Rules, we find that Saga apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Section 1304 of Title 18 of the United States Code (the ``Lottery Statute'') and Section 73.1211(a) of the Rules. Based upon our review of the facts and circumstances before us, we conclude that Saga is apparently liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of four thousand dollars ($4,000).
