The FCC fines LA's KNX-AM $10,000 over a burned-out tower light
CBS Radio’s KNX-AM (1070) owes a $10,000 fine after it was discovered that they had a burned-out tower light last year. According to the FCC report, “On May 13, 2010, an employee of the Enforcement Bureau’s Los Angeles
Office observed that the top beacon of a tower, located next to the
intersection of West 190th Street and Prairie Avenue in Torrance, CA was
unlit, at approximately 11:20pm.” But the Federal Aviation Administration had no record of a "Notice to
Airman," or “NOTAM” as it is called. A "NOTAM" is issued by the FAA to notify pilots and airports of any potential hazards, which includes tall buildings and radio towers. The FCC based their fine on their observation of the top beacon light being out on March 14, and a subsequent visit by the FCC to KNX to inspect tower logs. $10,000 is the Commission's base amount for such violations.Previous and Next Stories
