The FCC has proposed an $8000 penalty against Windy City Broadcastings
103.9 W280EM Chicago to settle multiple violations brought on from an
informal objection to the translators license renewal application. W280EM
never filed a silent STA for being off the air from August 17, 2020 to
August 4, 2021 nor mention the period of silence in its renewal
application. It also failed to notify the FCC that it had changed primary station as it was licensed to rebroadcast Hubbards 101.9 WTMX-HD2 Skokie,
but had been rebroadcasting SBS 107.9 WLEY Aurora prior to going silent and Univisions 105.1 WOJO-HD2 Evanston since returning to the air. The
translator was issued the based forfeiture of $5000 for unauthorized discontinuance of service and $3000 for failure to file required forms or information.
