Michelle Hepburn for 104.5 Mount Vernon



The FCC has overturned its selection for MX Group 95 from last falls non-commercial filing window. Originally granted to New Beginnings
Movements application for 88.5 in Seymour IN over five other applicants, a Petition to Deny stated that New Beginnings Movements application falsely stated that its 60 dBu contour encompassed 59,306 people when it reality it served 28,269.
