From Radio Insight: FCC ActionsThe FCC has implemented new tools to determine the permissible pre-sunrise and post-sunset operating parameters for eligible AM stations. The commission had withdrawn all pre-sunrise and post-sunset authorizations in 2007 following enactment of the US Energy Policy Act of 2005, which lengthened the duration of Daylight Savings Time and changed the local sunrise and sunset times for most of the country. Due to unanticipated computer problems that produced erroneous power levels on certain recalculated authorizations, the use was suspended until correct power levels could be computed. Stations that wish to operate with increased power at pre-sunrise or post-sunset are told to submit a letter request to Joseph Szczesny or Jerome Manarchuck of the Audio Division AM engineering staff, at PSRPSS@fcc.gov. The request must include (1) the licensee name, station callsign, facility ID, frequency, location, and the file number of the licensed daytime facility; (2) an indication as to whether the licensee intends PSRA operation, PSSA operation, or both; and (3) a description of the method whereby any necessary power reduction will be achieved. The Audio Division will then calculate authorized power from their daytime or critical hours antenna system. Pirate ActionsThe FCC has issued thirteen warnings to property owners in the New York metropolitan area over pirate stations operating out of their properties. The warnings were issued to: Gais Jeune and Isabel Moriceau for 91.7 Irvington NJ Saint Hubert and Rosemise Exantus for 87.9 Newark NJ 803 Sanford LLC for 90.9 Newark NJ Roy, Annette, and Gladys McClaire for 102.5 Newark NJ Parkash 2691 LLC for 88.9 Bronx NY 2522 Realty LLC for 94.9 Bronx NY W 2030 LLC for 90.5 Brooklyn NY 80 Lenox LLC for for 90.9 Brooklyn NY Royen A.

WIRB filed a Silent STA application in January, however two people commented to the commission that the station has been silent for several years and that its facilities were dismantled over a year ago. The FCC sent a letter of inquiry in June, which was followed by the licensee surrendering the license. UM Enterprise LLC’s 1360 WMOB Mobile AL has been cancelled after being off the air since August 2022. The licensee admitted to an FCC inquiry that it has failed to operate in over twelve months making its license expired. Dave Minard’s UM Enterprise had acquired WMOB and 1110 WTOF Bay Minette in April 2022 for $100 following former owner Buddy Tucker Association’s Lavaughn Tucker’s age and being unable to keep up with the expense of operating the stations leading them to ceasing operation in November 2020. Community Public Radio has turned in its Construction Permit for 90.5 KRAM Borrego Springs CA after learning it will require a $100,000 major building permit from San Diego County. Wendolynn Tellez has turned in the license for 103.3 KSAG Pearsall TX. KSAG has had multiple CP’s to relocate to 93.3 in order to allow Alpha Media to sign-on its CP for 103.3 KJAK Pearsall that has been tolled since 2016. KSAG claimed in 2018 it had lost its tower site and was fined for operating outside its licensed parameters.
