   Released: February 19, 2010

   By the District Director, San Diego  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 Radio Disney Group, LLC, licensee
       of AM Broadcast radio station KMIK(AM), Tempe, AZ.  This Notice may be
       combined with a further action, if further action is warranted.

    2. On December 9, 2009,  an agent  of the Enforcement Bureau's San Diego 
       Office inspected KMIK,  located at 4602 E. University Drive, Suite
       #150, Phoenix, AZ, and observed the following violation:

   a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.35(a): "EAS Participants must determine the cause of
   any failure to receive  the required tests or activations specified in
   Sections 11.61(a)(1) and (a)(2). Appropriate entries indicating reasons
   why any tests were not received or sent must be made in the broadcast
   station log as specified in Sections 73.1820 and 73.1840 of this chapter
   for all broadcast streams . . . . "

   At the time of the inspection, the agent found that there were no entries
   in the station log indicating why the Required Weekly Tests  (RWTs) had
   not been received from the first local primary (LP-1) KTAR(AM) and why
   RWTs were transmitted sporadically over the three months prior to the
   inspection.

    3. As the nation's emergency warning system, the Emergency Alert System
       is critical to public safety, and we recognize the vital role that
       broadcasters play in ensuring its success. The Commission takes
       seriously any violations of the Rules implementing the EAS and expects
       full compliance from its regulatees. Pursuant to Section 403 of the
       Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 1.89 of the
       Commission's Rules, we seek additional information concerning the
       violations and any remedial actions the station may have taken. 
       Therefore, Radio Disney Group, LLC, must submit a written statement
       concerning this matter within twenty (20) days of release of this
       Notice. The response (i) must fully explain each violation, including
       all relevant surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a
       statement of the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation
       and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for
       completion of any pending corrective action(s). The response must be
       complete in itself  and must not be abbreviated by reference to other
       communications or answers to other notices.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Commission's Rules, we direct
       Radio Disney Group, LLC, to support its response to this Notice with
