FCC Actions

The FCC has granted Spottswood Partners II’s petition for rule making to amend the FM Table of Allotments to add a Class C3 on 100.9 in Big Coppitt Key FL.

The FCC has denied the The Association for Community Education, Inc’s petition to deny over the grant of Modesto Independent Media’s application for 89.5 Los Banos CA over theirs and three other applicants. ACE argued that the MIM Application should’ve been denied because it lacked reasonable assurance of site availability and failed to demonstrate that the proposed station would advance an NCE objective. Modesto Independent Media only listed a general phone number for American Tower, and AIM contacted a representative of the company who could not locate records, but MIM would show emails confirming it from their contract engineer. ACE also stated that because they were a first-time non-comm applicant, its submission of its articles of incorporation was inadequate for its proposed educational objective, but MIM counters that its article of incorporation included its stated purpose but did later amend its application with a more detailed submission. which the FCC found sufficient.

The College of New Jersey’s 91.3 WTSR Trenton NJ has entered a Consent Decree for failing to maintain its online public file.
