  • Trustee (``Entertainment Media Trust'' or ``the Licensee''), licensee of AM Station KZQZ, in St. Louis, MO and AM Station KQQZ, in DeSoto, MO, apparently willfully violated section 73.1350 of the Commission's Rules (``Rules'') by failing to operate Station KZQZ in accordance with the terms of its station authorization.

We conclude that Entertainment Media Trust is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). BACKGROUND On April 20, 2010, in response

  • NAL, the Atlanta Office issued a Notice of Violation to Monroe on June 4, 1998 for failing to attenuate its second harmonic emissions in violation of Section 73.44(b). Moreover, licensees are expected to know and comply with the Commission's rules. Section 73.44(a) of the Rules requires licensees to measure their emissions to ensure compliance with Section 73.44(b). In addition, Section 73.1590 of the Rules requires AM licensees to make measurements for spurious and harmonic emissions on an annual basis to demonstrate compliance with the transmission system requirements of Section 73.44. Neither Monroe nor Mr. Smith offer any evidence that measurements were taken to ensure that WRKQ was in compliance with Section 73.44(b).

In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), we find that Frank R. Truatt, the licensee of AM station WTBQ in Warwick, New York, apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 11.35(a), 73.1590(a)(6), and 73.3526(e)(12) of the Commission's Rules ("Rules") by failing to maintain fully operational Emergency Alert System ("EAS") equipment, failing to conduct the annual transmitter equipment performance measurements, and failing to maintain a radio issues/programs list in the station's public inspection file. We conclude, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), that Truatt is apparently

  • of the Enforcement Bureau inspected radio station WNWF (AM) located in Destin, Florida and observed the following violations: a. 47 C.F.R. S 11.61(a): EAS "[t]ests shall be made at regular intervals as indicated in paragraphs (a) (1) and (a) (2) of this section." There was no evidence that EAS tests were being conducted by the station. b. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1590: "(a) The licensee of each AM, FM, TV and Class A TV station ...must make equipment performance measurements for each main transmitter as follows: (6) [a]nnually, for AM stations, with not more than 14 months between measurements." The equipment performance measurements could not be found and there was no evidence that they had been conducted within the past 12 months.

Entries in the station log over several months showed similar inaccurate readings. d. 47 C.F.R.

In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), we find that Frank R. Truatt, the licensee of AM station WTBQ in Warwick, New York, apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 11.35(a), 73.1590(a)(6), and 73.3526(e)(12) of the Commission's Rules ("Rules") by failing to maintain fully operational Emergency Alert System ("EAS") equipment, failing to conduct the annual transmitter equipment performance measurements, and failing to maintain a radio issues/programs list in the station's public inspection file. We conclude, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"), that Truatt is apparently

  • NAL, the Atlanta Office issued a Notice of Violation to Monroe on June 4, 1998 for failing to attenuate its second harmonic emissions in violation of Section 73.44(b). Moreover, licensees are expected to know and comply with the Commission's rules. Section 73.44(a) of the Rules requires licensees to measure their emissions to ensure compliance with Section 73.44(b). In addition, Section 73.1590 of the Rules requires AM licensees to make measurements for spurious and harmonic emissions on an annual basis to demonstrate compliance with the transmission system requirements of Section 73.44. Neither Monroe nor Mr. Smith offer any evidence that measurements were taken to ensure that WRKQ was in compliance with Section 73.44(b). Therefore, we conclude that Monroe willfully and repeatedly violated
