  • conduct tests of the EAS header and EOM codes at least once a week at random days and times. The requirement that stations monitor, receive and retransmit the required EAS tests ensures the operational integrity of the EAS system in the event of an actual disaster. Appropriate entries must be made in the broadcast station log as specified in Sections 73.1820 and 73.1840, indicating reasons why any tests were not received or transmitted. One Mart does not dispute the facts as described in the NAL, but does ask for mitigation based on the decreased revenue of the station. One Mart states that two of the four KEVT towers were destroyed by ``tornado force winds'' on July 15, 2003, and the station

Appropriate entries must be made in the broadcast station log as specified in Sections 73.1820 and 73.1840, indicating reasons why any tests were not received or transmitted. 3ABN disputes the facts as described in the NAL. First, 3ABN states it first became aware of the ``alleged EAS problem at K43FO'' on May 16, 2006 when the Los Angeles agent met with a ``technical representative'' of the station. 3ABN argues that the individual the agent met

The LOI also requested a description or copy of the policies and procedures in place to ensure compliance with the EAS Rules and a copy of all station logs recording EAS test transmissions and any EAS equipment outages or repairs as required to be maintained under Section 73.1820 of the Rules. Opp Ed's response to the LOI was due on December 4, 2008, 30 calendar days from the date of the LOI, and covered the period from January 31, 2007 to the date of its response.

Appropriate entries must be made in the broadcast station log as specified in Sections 73.1820 and 73.1840, indicating reasons why any tests were not received or transmitted. On April 11, 2008, the inspection and investigation by the Denver agents revealed that the EAS equipment for KRAL(AM) and KIQZ(FM) was apparently not operational because no evidence was found demonstrating the functionality of the equipment to receive tests and alerts from the assigned EAS LP-1 and LP-2

The requirement that stations monitor, receive, and retransmit the required EAS tests ensures the operational integrity of the EAS system in the event of an actual disaster. Accordingly, appropriate entries must be made in the broadcast station log as specified in Sections 73.1820 and 73.1840, indicating reasons why any tests were not received or transmitted. A review of KFTU's station log from February 2, 2009, through September 1, 2009, revealed that the KFTU's EAS equipment was not operating properly. KFTU did not properly receive or transmit any RMTs from either the LP-1 or the LP-2 station during this period, and there was no

As discussed above, a March 18, 2010, Bureau inspection of Station KFSD's EAS equipment revealed that the equipment was not operational. Specifically, the audio link for Station KFSD's EAS equipment was not functioning, and this prohibited the station from transmitting a RWT and retransmitting a

The logging requirement was retained for such stations largely as an induce ment to upgrade their sampling systems. Currently, about 200 AM stations operate without approved sampling systems. It is evident that the licensees of those stations believe that their current sampling systems are adequate and that the cost of upgrading substantially outweighs the ongoing expense of mak ing periodic

Playa Del Sol also discusses problems with station KRCK-FM's toll-free phone telephone number and its disagreement with the NAL's finding that it was monitoring only one EAS source instead of two.

We note that Commission agents tested the EAS equipment during the inspection on December 2, 2002, by transmitting a weekly test and the resulting EAS printout indicated that the year was 1902.

  • I. INTRODUCTION In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), we find that First National Broadcasting Corporation ("First National"), licensee of AM broadcast stations KXOL and KSOS, licensed to serve Brigham City, Utah, apparently willfully violated Section 73.1125 of the Commission's Rules ("Rules") by failing to maintain a main studio, and apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 11.61 and 73.1820 of the Commission's Rules by failing to conduct and log required Emergency Alert System ("EAS") tests.1 We conclude, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"),2 that First National is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

  • Baker found the metering was grossly out of calibration. Mr. Baker estimated that KYOO was operating at 98% of authorized power on the day of inspection. Mr. Baker further stated that the automatic call out and shut down features were now enabled. 7. Section 73.1800(a) states that ``The licensee of each station must maintain a station log as required by §73.1820. This log shall be kept by station employees competent to do so, having actual knowledge of the facts required. All entries whether required or not by the provisions of this part, must accurately reflect the station operation.'' At the time of inspection the licensee was not maintaining station logs as required. Station manager and designated chief operator, Mr. Stephen Paris,

On June 18, 2001, FCC Kansas City issued an NOV to Two Rivers for the violations detected during the May 29, 2001, inspection. Violations included 47 C.F.R. §§ 11.61(a)(2), 11.35(a), 17.47(a)(1), 17.47(a)(2), 17.47(a)(3), 17.48(a), 17.49(a-d), 73.1350(c)(1), 73.1350(c)(2), 73.1800(a), 73.1820(a), 73.1820(a)(1), 73.1820(a)(1)(iii), and 73.1870(c)(3). On June 6, 2001, Two Rivers submitted documentation supporting their claim that they were the owners of antenna structure #1028734. The structure was acquired by Two Rivers as part of an asset exchange agreement dated March 7, 2000. Two Rivers made application to the FCC on June 6, 2001 to have the ownership of the structure

  • regarding operating power, and other operating parameters. On the day of inspection, there was no indication that this station was being monitored to determine compliance with operating parameters. The station was found operating beyond tolerance of the authorized power. Section 73.1800(a) of the Rules states that the licensee of each station must maintain a station log as required by Section 73.1820. There was no station log being maintained as of the date of inspection. Section 73.3526(a)(2) of the Rules states that the licensee of each station shall maintain a public inspection file. This station had failed to establish a public inspection file. Mr. Calococci, the general manager of WBOT, met with the FCC agent during inspection of the transmitter. When questioned

The logging requirement was retained for such stations largely as an induce ment to upgrade their sampling systems. Currently, about 200 AM stations operate without approved sampling systems. It is evident that the licensees of those stations believe that their current sampling systems are adequate and that the cost of upgrading substantially outweighs the ongoing expense of mak ing periodic

In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture ("NAL"), we find that First National Broadcasting Corporation ("First National"), licensee of AM broadcast stations KXOL and KSOS, licensed to serve Brigham City, Utah, apparently willfully violated Section 73.1125 of the Commission's Rules ("Rules") by failing to maintain a main studio, and apparently willfully and repeatedly violated Sections 11.61 and 73.1820 of the Commission's Rules by failing to conduct and log required Emergency Alert System ("EAS") tests.1 We conclude, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ("Act"),2 that First National is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000).

  • Station WJJL's equipment was only capable of monitoring one EAS source. 4Broadcast stations are required to monitor, test, and log such tests of, EAS equipment at regular intervals, and repair and/or replace defective equipment within 60 days (and to notify the appropriate Field Office if such equipment cannot be repaired or replaced within the 60-day period). See 47 C.F.R. 11.35(a)-(c), 73.1820(a)(1)(iii). Station WJJL's logs did not reflect the testing of EAS equipment since July 23, 2002, and did not reflect any failure of such equipment. 5Section 17.4(a) of the Rules requires that Station WJJL's antenna structure be registered with the Commission, because it exceeds 200 feet and is thus subject to Federal Aviation Administration (``FAA'') notification.

  • 16 Playa Del Sol also discusses problems with station KRCK-FM's toll-free phone telephone number and its disagreement with the NAL's finding that it was monitoring only one EAS source instead of two. We do not address these matters herein because neither was cited in the NAL as a violation for which a forfeiture amount was imposed. 17 See 47 C.F.R. 73.1820. 18 We note that Commission agents tested the EAS equipment during the inspection on December 2, 2002, by transmitting a weekly test and the resulting EAS printout indicated that the year was 1902. Thus, at the time of the inspection the EAS equipment was not fully functional. 19 See also AT&T Wireless Services, Inc., 17 FCC Rcd 21866, 21871 (2002).
