   Released:  May 12, 2008

   By the District Director, Atlanta Office, South Central Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to D-Mitch Broadcasting, Inc., licensee
       of radio station WBSC AM in Bennettsville, South Carolina.

    2. On April 8, 2008, agents of the Commission's Atlanta Office of the
       Enforcement Bureau inspected AM radio station WBSC located at
       Bennettsville, South Carolina, and observed the following
       violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S:S: 73.1560(a) & (d): The station's antenna input power
        must be maintained as near as practicable to the authorized antenna
        input power and may not be less than 90% nor more than 105% of the
        authorized power. Also, if it becomes technically impossible to
        operate the station at authorized power, the station may operate at
        reduced power for not more than 30 days without specific
        authorization from the FCC. If causes beyond the control of the
        licensee prevent restoration of the authorized power within 30 days,
        a request for Special Temporary Authority must be made to the FCC in
        Washington, DC for additional time as may be necessary.

   The station was operating at 57 % of authorized power and had been
   operating at reduced power for over 30 days.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S:S: 73.1870(a)(1) & (3): The licensee of each AM, FM, TV
        or Class A TV station must designate a person to serve as the
        station's chief operator. The designation must be in writing and
        posted with the station's license.

   The agents found no written designation of a chief operator for the
   station.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.3526(e)(4): Stations must place a copy of any service
        contour maps, submitted with any application tendered for filing with
        the FCC, into the station's public inspection file.

   There was no service contour map in the public inspection file showing the
   station's community contour.

     d. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.3526(e)(8): Stations must maintain a copy of the most
        recent version of the manual entitled "The Public and Broadcasting"
        in the public inspection file.

   The station's public inspection file did not contain "The Public and
   Broadcasting" manual.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, D-Mitch
       Broadcasting, Inc., must submit a written statement concerning this
       matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response
       must fully explain each violation, must contain a statement of the
       specific action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude
       recurrence, and should include a time line for completion of pending
       corrective action(s). The response must be complete in itself and
       signed by a principal or officer of the licensee. All replies and
       documentation sent in response to this Notice should be marked with
