FCC Actions
Potter Radio LLC’s 95.1 K236CT Pawhuska OK has been issued a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture of $3500 for failing to timely file a license to cover for its Construction Permit and engaging in unauthorized operation of the translator after its construction permit had expired. K236CT was granted the six month COVID-19 extension of its CP setting its expiration date of July 4, 2021. After failing to file for its license on that date the CP was considered expired and deleted. They then filed a Petition For Reconsideration on July 23 stating that the translator was constructed and operating prior to July 4. After being granted a waiver by the FCC, the license was filed for on August 2.
