                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: June 26, 2008

   By the District Director, San Francisco Office, Western Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules, to California Oregon Broadcasting,
       Inc., registrant of antenna structure number 1050214 located near Bay
       and 7th Street, Eureka, California.

    2. On May 15, 2008, agents of the Enforcement Bureau's San Francisco
       Office made nighttime observations of antenna structure number 1050214
       and noted that the side lights were not lit and the top beacon was
       only flashing two to three times per minute. On May 16, 2008, the
       agents inspected antenna structure number 1050214 and observed the
       following violations:

   a. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.21: "Antenna structures shall be painted and lighted
   when:(a) They exceed 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height above the ground or
   they require special aeronautical study." The painting and lighting
   specification for antenna structure number 1050214 are listed as FCC
   Paragraphs 1, 3, 11, 21. FCC Paragraph 3 requires that the top beacon
   flash not more than 40 flashes per minute and not less than 12 flashes per
   minute, and Paragraph 11 requires that the structure have at least two red
   obstruction lights installed at its midpoint. On the evening of May 15,
   2008, the agents observed that the side lights were not functioning and
   the top beacon was flashing no more than three times per minute.

   b. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.48: "The owner of any antenna structure which is
   registered with the Commission and has been assigned lighting
   specifications referenced in this part: (a) Shall report immediately by
   telephone or telegraph to the nearest Flight Service Station or office of
   the Federal Aviation Administration any observed or otherwise known
   extinguishment or improper functioning of any top steady burning light or
   any flashing obstruction light, regardless of its position on the antenna
   structure, not corrected within 30 minutes." On May 16, 2008, the San
   Francisco agents' inspection revealed that California Oregon Broadcasting,
   Inc., had not notified the FAA of the improper functioning of the top
   beacon on antenna structure number 1050214.

   c. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.49: "The owner of each antenna structure which is
   registered with the Commission and has been assigned lighting
   specifications referenced in this part must maintain a record of any
   observed or otherwise known extinguishment or improper functioning of a
   structure light . . ." On May 16, 2008, the San Francisco agents'
   inspection revealed that the improper functioning of the top beacon and
   side lights on antenna structure number 1050214 had not been logged.

   d. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.4(a): "The owner of an antenna structure that requires
   notice of proposed construction to the Federal Aviation Administration
   must register the structure with the Commission." Information provided to
   the Commission must be accurate. The FCC registration for antenna
   structure number 1050214 states the latitude and longitude of the
   structure as 40-o48'08.8" north latitude and 124-o08'24.0" west longitude.
   At the time of the inspection, the San Francisco agents observed that the
   actual location of the structure is 40-o48'09.8" north latitude and
   124-o08'19.8" west longitude, revealing a discrepancy of approximately 370
   feet.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Commission's Rules, California Oregon
       Broadcasting, Inc., must submit a written statement concerning this
       matter within 20 days of release of this Notice. The response must

       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 California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc. All
