                                             Released:  June 8, 
2005

By the District Director, New York Office, Northeast Region, 
Enforcement Bureau:

  1.      This  is  a  Notice  of  Violation  ("Notice")   issued 
     pursuant to  Section 1.89  of  the Commission's  Rules,1  to 
     Universal Broadcasting  of New  York, Inc.  (``Universal''), 
     licensee of radio station WTHE, Teaneck, New Jersey.

  2.      On March 3, 2005, an agent of the Commission's New York 
     Office monitored  radio station  WTHE, located  at 260  East 
     Second Street, Mineola, New York and observed the  following 
     violation:

          47  C.F.R.  §73.1745(a):  ``No  broadcast  station 
          shall operate at  times, or with  modes or  power, 
          other than those specified and made a part of  the 
          license, unless otherwise provided in this part.'' 
          The agent observed that the station transmitted in 
          an unauthorized mode for over 45 minutes.

  3.      On April 14,  2005, an  agent of  the Commission's  New 
     York Office inspected  radio station, WTHE,  located at  260 
     East Second  Street,  Mineola,  New York  and  observed  the 
     following violations:

a.        47 C.F.R. § 11.61(b):  ``Entries shall be made  in 
          broadcast station ...  records as  specified in  § 
          11.54(b)(12).''   A  review  of  station   records 
          showed that WTHE failed to log monthly tests  from 
          January 1 to  March 31,  2005, and  failed to  log 
          weekly tests  from  two  monitoring  sources  from 
          January 1 to March 31, 2005.

b.        47  C.F.R.  §  73.1870(c)(3):   ``Review  of   the 
          station logs at least once each week to  determine 
          if required  entries  are  being  made  correctly.  
          Additionally, verification must  be made that  the 
          station has been operated as required by the rules 
          or the station authorization.  Upon completion  of 
          the review,  the chief  operator or  his  designee 
          must  date  and   sign  the   log,  initiate   any 
          corrective action  which  may  be  necessary,  and 
          advise the station licensee of any condition which 
          is repetitive.''   The  chief operator  failed  to 
          sign and date  logs from  January 1  to April  13, 
          2005.

  4.      Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 
     1934, as  amended,2 and  Section  1.89 of  the  Commission's 
     Rules, Universal must submit a written statement  concerning 
     this matter  within  twenty (20)  days  of release  of  this 
     Notice.  The  response must  fully explain  each  violation,

     action(s).  The  response must  be  complete in  itself  and
