Those violations are why debtor-in-possession Nassau Broadcasting faces a $17,000 Notice of Apparent Liability from the Federal Communications Commission. After the FCC agent busted WPLY, Mount Pocono (960) for no public file during a March 2010 visit, he drove to the transmitter site. There are four towers there, because WPLY is licensed to be directional day and night (different patterns). It is supposed to run a 1,000 watt signal days and 24 watts at night. But the FCC says the station engineer “reported that WPLY had been transmitting from only one of its four authorized antenna structures”, meaning non-directional operation. It was violating the terms of its license by broadcasting at 250 watts daytime without Special Temporary Authorization. In fact, WPLY been doing that since Nassau bought the facility in 2000.
