The noted violations involve Monroe's failure to adequately attenuate WRKQ's transmission system emissions, failure to identify WRKQ by call sign, and operation of WRKQ at night with daytime power. On June 27, 2002, the Commission's Atlanta, Georgia Field Office (``Atlanta Office'') issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'') to Monroe for a forfeiture

White (``Licensee''), licensee of Station KOLJ(AM), Quanah, Texas (``Station''), apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of seven thousand dollars ($7,000) for his apparent willful and repeated violations of Section 301 of the Act and Sections 73.1350 and 73.1745 of the Rules, and his apparent willful violation 73.1690 of the Rules. The apparent violations involve Licensee's unauthorized operation of the Station at a variance from his license without first filing for and obtaining Commission approval for the modification of the Station's facilities. BACKGROUND On June 5, 2008, the Station went silent due to severe storms that caused damage to

Simmons-Austin also denied the existence, of any ``corporate directive'' not to reduce KSLG(AM)'s power at sunset, as specified in the station's license. On June 20, 2007, the Enforcement Bureau released an order adopting a Consent Decree with Simmons-Austin (``Consent Decree'') wherein it admitted to violating Sections 73.1350 and 73.1745; agreed to make a twenty-five thousand dollar voluntary contribution to the United States Treasury; and agreed to implement a specified internal program, for a minimum of two years from the Consent Decree's effective date, to ensure compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations. On September 17, 2009, Simmons-Austin and M&M filed the Applications. On October 22, 2009, O'Neal, a non-voting
