Ed Stolz Files For Review In Entercom/Sacramento License Renewal Case Again... This Time Invoking President Trump

Another Appeal

ED STOLZ is trying yet again to block the license renewal of ENTERCOM's now-defunct KDND/SACRAMENTO even after the station turned in its license, filing another Application for Review in order to exhaust his administrative remedies and thus be able to appeal it again to the U.S. Court of Appeals.

STOLZ, who has waged a campaign against ENTERCOM since his unsuccessful attempt to reverse a deal he made to sell KWOD/SACRAMENTO to the company, contends that the FCC erred and was being arbitrary and capricious in allowing ENTERCOM to turn in the license for KDND rather than continue with a revocation hearing based on the fatal "Hold Your Wee For A Wii" contest.  In the latest filing, he argues that the disposition of his previous appeal by the FCC's General Counsel rather than the Commission panel itself violates due process, and says that his filings are not repetitious, no matter what the General Counsel determined. 

The filing concludes with the assertion that "President TRUMP promised the American people that he would 'drain the swamp.' The action of the FCC General Counsel ... preventing a vote by the en banc Commission on the narrowly tailored issues raised by STOLZ in his OCTOBER 10, 2017 Petition for Reconsideration, is antithetical to the concept of draining the swamp. The General Counsel ran interference for two powerful communications companies in an attempt to deny a citizen the statutory right to seek judicial review of an adverse agency order. This not only aggrieved STOLZ but it was also an affront to some 62,984,825 citizens who voted for President TRUMP in 2016."
