Silent since September 12, 2015
Notification of License Expiration
Dear Mr. Williams:
Our records indicate that the station referenced above has been silent since at least September 12,
2015. Therefore, pursuant to Section 312(g) of the Communications Act, as amended,1 the station's
license expired as a matter of law at 12:01 A.M., September 13, 2016. Unless we receive documented
evidence2 within 30 days of the date of this letter that our records incorrectly reflect the operational status
of the station and that, in fact, the station returned to the air with authorized facilities at some time
between September 12, 2015, and 12:01 A.M., September 13, 2016, the Commission's public and internal
databases WILL BE MODIFIED to indicate that the broadcast license for the referenced station is
EXPIRED, that the station's license is CANCELED as a matter of law, and that the station's call sign is
DELETED.
Finally, we note that 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 is required, pursuant to
47 U.S.C. Section 3 03(q), to maintain the tower in the manner prescribed by our rules and the terms of the
cancelled license.3

Memorandum Opinion and Order, 23 FCC Red 603 (2008).
2 Such evidence must indicate the dates broadcasts ceased and resumed, and the transmitter site location, effective
radiated power and antenna height above ground level for all periods of operation. This evidence includes copies of
leases, personnel records, engineering records, station logs, quarterly issues/programs lists, invoices, bills, checks
written or received, credit card charges, wire transfers or deposits of funds relating to the station's operation from
September 12, 2015, to the present. Also include pictures of the station's facilities during this timeframe, and
provide exact transmitter site coordinates.
