FCC Reaches Two Consent Decrees Over Online Public File Violations, Rescinds One Late License Renewal Fine, Issues Another

Consent Decrees And Fines

The FCC entered two more Consent Decrees resolving political online public file violations, these with TRI-RIVERS BROADCASTING COMPANY (Country KMEM-F/MEMPHIS, MO) and DELTA BROADCASTING, LLC (Classic Hits KYMO-A-F/EAST PRAIRIE, MO). The agreements settle the alleged violations with the licensees agreeing to create and implement compliance plans but without fines being attached.

In addition, the Commission rescinded one $1,500 fine, that against LETCHER COUNTY BROADCASTING for a late license renewal application for W278BK/JENKINS, KY due to inability to pay, but issued another proposed $1,500 fine against VOICE OF EUPORA for a late license renewal application for low power FM WEHS-LP/EUPORA, MS, which explained the delay as resulting from the death of the station's President's mother.
