https://i0.wp.com/radioinsight.com/wp-content/images/2020/05/fccseal2020.png?resize=200%2C200&ssl=1The FCC has proposed fines to Gendreau Broadcast LLC’s two stations in Clinton IA as part of their license renewals.
Following an informal objection, the commission has issued an $8000 penalty to Variety Hits “Mac 94.7 (https://www.947mac.com)” KMCN Clinton for failing to timely upload multiple issues and program lists to their online public file, did not upload the letter of inquiry and response, required information to their political files, nor include a link to the public file on its website. The company also made a false certification in its renewal application stating that the information was uploaded.
An $11,000 forfeiture was proposed for Oldies 1390 KCLN Clinton for all of the violations for KMCN as well as not operating within its licensed parameters. The station is licensed to operate with 1kW day and 91 watts night but station logs note it began operating at between 50 and 70 watts last November through at least March and potentially still is without requesting STA authorization.
As part of its grant of Shamrock Communications’ application to upgrade 105.9 KRZQ Amargosa Valley NV to a Class C on 106.1 to rimshot Las Vegas, the FCC has granted the proposed rulemaking to adjust the FM Table of Allotments to relocate the vacant Class A allotment in Tecopa CA from 105.5 to 99.1.
In a similar grant, ITM LLC’s application to upgrade 103.9 KIDD Fort Mohave AZ from a Class A to C2 has been approved with the Table of Allotments revised to substitute the vacant 103.9 Class A in Peach Springs AZ with 105.3.

After taking 730 KEZX Medford OR silent last November for financial reasons, Opus Broadcasting Systems has turned in the license for the station. KEZX previously operated as “Fox Sports 730“.
After not responding to an FCC inquiry regarding its operational status, the license for Sylvia Mijares’ 1450 KBEN Carrizo Springs TX has been cancelled for being off the air since August 2021.
Best Media’s 100.7 W264CW Roosvelt NJ was deleted after the licensee failed to respond to an FCC letter of inquiry to its operational status after an objection stated it had been off the air for well over one year.
