In re: WPPT(AM), Talladega, AL
Facility ID No. 54472
Dear Licensee:

The license for the above-referenced station expired on April 1, 2012. An application for
renewal of this station's license should have been filed by December 1, 2011. To date, we have
no record of receiving a license renewal application for this station, and the station's license has
expired by its own terms.
Accordingly, all authority to operate station WPPT(AM), Talladega, AL IS
TERMINATED and the call letters ARE DELETED. Any operation of this facility is now
unauthorized and must cease immediately.
Finally, it is imperative to the safety of air navigation that any prescribed painting and
illumination of the station's tower be maintained until the tower is dismantled. Accordingly, the
owner of the tower where the referenced station's transmitting antenna is located must maintain
the tower in the manner prescribed by the Commission's rules and the terms of the expired
license. See 47 U.S.C. Section 303(q) and 47 C. F. R. Section 17.6.

Sincerely,

,,/Peter H. Doyle
