FCC Report 6/26: FCC Clarifies Class D FM Public File Obligations

Posted: 26 Jun 2022 07:00 AM PDT https://radioinsight.com/headlines/230078/fcc-report-6-26-fcc-clarifies-class-d-fm-public-file-obligations/


FCC Actions

Attempting to clarify errors made in 1988, the FCC is revising the public
file rules for Class D FMs to remove the requirement that they must
maintain quarterly issues/program lists. The agency states, the omission of
the Class D Note from the 1988 Order and subsequent editions of the CFR was
an inadvertent one, unrelated to the proposal addressed in that Order, and re-codify the exemption that relieves Class D FM stations from the
requirement to maintain issues/programs lists in their online public
inspection file. This includes disavowing the $9000 fine issued to
University of Montanas 90.9 KDWG Dillon MT in 2009 for failing to maintain those lists, but makes no mention of returning the funds to the university.


Socorro Community Radios Country Mine Country 102.1 KYRN Socorro NM has
entered into a consent decree and agreed to a $1500 civil penalty related
to an improper transfer of control in 2013.

An informal objection filed by Green Lion Media alleged that Socorro
Community Radio failed to notify the FCC on the death of sole member
William Pace in 2013, when at the time it operated the station via Time Brokerage Agreement from Sovereign City Radio and a second occurred in July 2017 when Green Lion began operating the station ahead of a planned sale.
SCR countered that the 2013 transfer was not an illegal transfer of control because they did not own the station, but admitted that the 2017 one was as
its owner moved out of state and allowed Green Lion to assume control
without authorization. After they filed a lawsuit against Green Lion the station went silent in March 208 for nearly a year. The two sides differed
on the filings of the STA dates and whether the issues/programs lists in
the public file was accurate, but the FCC rejected Green Lions claims.

The following licensees have entered into consent decrees for failing to maintain their online political files:

Cape Cod Broadcasting License II, LLC licensee of WOCN-FM Orleans MA
Fayette Broadcasting Corp. licensee of WMBS Uniontown PA
Lakes Media, LLC licensee of WLKZ Wolfeboro NH

Deletions

The FCC has deleted the license of Estrella Medias 103.3 KJOJ-FM Freeport
TX. KJOJ-FM went silent in December 2020 following the collapse of its near 2000 foot tower in a storm. Inquiries into the status of the station by the
FCC to Estrella Media earlier this year went unanswered.

Alma Corporation has turned in the license for 106.3 KQBD Bunker MO. KQBD
went silent in October 2021 for technical reasons.

Light of Life Ministries has relaunched its Christian AC Worship-FM network
in Maine as Reach FM.

to Program Director and then Station Manager during his first stint with
the station from 1999 to 2012, returns as Programming Consultant and
morning host. Gagne continues to serve as President/Station Manager and
morning host at Q90.1 WYQQ Charlton/Worcester MA.

the renewed mission and vision God has spoken through this team. Along
with some exciting new changes on-air, we have a lineup of incredible
on-air personalities who will share life, faith and community with you,
with the best contemporary Christian music available to provide hope
through the right songs at the right time. We are also going to be out in
the community hosting “Street Team” events and partnering with the local churches, towns and cities for great events that matter to you. We are in
the process of building our “Street Team” of volunteers to serve at events, concerts and outreach opportunities.

The Reach FM network is heard on 88.1 WMEY Bowdoin, 95.3 WWWA Winslow, 91.3 W217CJ Portland, and 94.7 W234CG Brunswick. Light of Life Ministries also operates Southern Gospel/Christian Country Gods Country and Christian Preaching/Conservative Talk The Arrow on stations within the state.
