GENESEE MEDIA CORPORATION has applied for an STA to operate Sports WOKR-A (THE TEAM)/BROCKPORT, NY at reduced power of 75 watts daytime while it repairs excessive radiation in the direction of AUBURN BROADCASTING News-Talk WAUB-A/AUBURN, NY.

VCY AMERICA, INC. has filed for an STA to operate WJIC/ZANESVILLE, OH at reduced power (10% of licensed) while it repairs damage caused to its transmission equipment by storms.

And CALVARY CHAPEL OF TWIN FALLS, INC. has requested a Silent STA for K220HI/CLARKSTON, UT due to a missing transmitter and electrical problem in the transmitter building.

The Commission has also denied an "Informal Request for Extension of
Time" filed by THE ERIE RADIO COMPANY, LLC, which sought additional time to make its required down payment for a construction permit for a new FM at WESTFIELD, NY won in FM Auction 98.  ERIE missed the AUGUST 26. 2015 deadline for completing payment of $107,100 and claimed “special circumstances” warranted an extension, pointing to unspecified problems its bank encountered in executing the wire transfer.  The FCC is keeping $107,100 (which is 20% of the total net bid) from the money ultimately wired by ERIE as an interim default payment.
