Fines
The FCC has hit five CUMULUS MEDIA stations in the MYRTLE BEACH, SC market with fines for public file violations. The stations were missing all but a handful of quarterly issues/programs lists and cannot account for anything before 2008 due to personnel changeover and changes in software and computer systems, although lists from 2008-10 were “recreated.” The stations, which disclosed the problem in their license renewal applications, nevertheless will see their licenses renewed.
The Commission proposed $12,000 fines each against Sports WSEA (100.3 THE TEAM)/ATLANTIC BEACH, SC; Classic Hits WSYN (SUNNY 103.1)/SURFSIDE BEACH, SC; Sports WRWM-A (FOX SPORTS RADIO 1050)/CONWAY, SC (which simulcast with WJXY-A-F during most of the license term and should have had the same lists as those stations); and Urban WDAI (98.5 KISS FM)/PAWLEYS ISLAND, SC, and a fine of $10,000 against Country WLFF (NASH FM 106.5)/GEORGETOWN, SC.
