FCC Fines Alabama FM Licensee In Consent Decree Over Contest, Control Violations

Can't Do That

The FCC has fined SOUND IDEAS, LLC $12,000 under a Consent Decree addressing contest rules violations and unauthorized transfer of control issues at Silent WYDK/EUFAULA, AL.

The Consent Decree notes that a 2016 contest was ended prematurely and a station employee took the advertised prizes rather than awarding them to contestants.  The investigation also resulted in the licensee claiming to have no knowledge nor records of the contest, raising questions about having given DAYSTAR MEDIA GROUP, LLC de facto control of the station.
