If It Weren’t St. Patrick’s Day, I’d Think It Was April Fools

March 17, 2005 By Brian 2 Comments

From the FCC’s Daily Digest:

LEIGHTON ENTERPRISES, INC., LICENSE OF STATION KBOT(FM), PELICAN RAPIDS, MN. Notified Leighton Enterprises, Inc. of its Apparent Liability for Forfeiture in the amount of $5,000 for broadcasting station identification announcements that did not contain the required call sign followed by the station’s community of license.
Action by: Chief, Investigations and Hearings Division, Enforcement Bureau.

Yep, they got clipped five bills for not legal ID-ing.

Not ID-ing. For 20 of 24 hours a day. For almost three months.

Ouch.

Read the whole scoop here. (Thanks to Lance at radio-info for the heads up.)

    This sort of thing, unfortunately, happens all the time. Do you know how many tries it took for me to get a legit legal ID from WMNF Tampa? The DJs were throwing the word “in” between the calls and the city, which makes it non-legal.

    It will be interesting if this ruling gets some of the non-compliant stations out there to get their act together. A quick legal ID can, in most cases, be done in one second.

    As a ID freak, I’m glad to see the FCC still cares. However, I won’t be suprised if and when the FCC drops the ID requirement.
