FCC Fines WTMR/Camden-Philly For Power-Down Violation

BEASLEY gets nailed with a $4,000. FCC fine for exceeding its authorized 500 watt nighttime power at Religion WTMR-A/CAMDEN-PHILADELPHIA. The fine arose from the FCC's allegations that the station failed to power down at local sunset on JULY 15 and 29, 2004, staying at its daytime power of 5,000 watts at 9:29p and 9:32p ET, respectively, an hour later than authorized. The station did not dispute the violation but objected that the violation did not merit a fine as large as $4,000.
