FCC Revokes Alabama AM's License Due To Unpaid Fees

Revokes License

The FCC has revoked the license of SHELLEY BROADCASTNG CO., INC. for WGEA-A/GENEVA, AL for failure to pay its regulatory fees.

SHELLEY did not timely pay or only partially paid fees for Fiscal Years 2008-2016, and when issued an Order to Pay or Show Cause, responded by claiming it could not pay because the IRS was withholding a "sizeable refund" owed to the company President JACK MIZELL and his wife. WGEA's license was cancelled in 2017 but reinstated earlier this year pending an answer to the Show Cause order.
