                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: February 22, 2010

   By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Northeast Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to New Millennium Communications Group,
       Inc. ("New Millennium"), the licensee of AM radio station WZSK in
       Everett, Pennsylvania. This Notice may be combined with a further
       action, if further action is warranted.

    2. On January 20, 2010, an agent of the Commission's Philadelphia Office
       inspected radio station WZSK located in Everett, Pennsylvania and
       observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1560(a): "[T]he antenna input power of an AM
        station...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." For the previous three months, New
        Millennium had been operating station WZSK during the daytime with 4
        kilowatts or 40% of the authorized power and there is no evidence
        that New Millenium obtained special temporary authority to operate at
        a reduced power for more than thirty days, as required by 47 C.F.R.
        S: 73.1560(d). 

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.61 (a)(2): "EAS participants shall conduct...required
        weekly tests." A review of the station's EAS logs revealed that
        entries were not made in the EAS logs to show required weekly EAS
        tests for the period between January 1, 2010 and January 14, 2010. 

     c. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.52(d): "EAS participants must monitor two EAS
        sources. The monitoring assignment of each broadcast station and
        cable system and wireless cable system are specified in the State EAS
        Plan and FCC Mapbook."  A review of WZSK's EAS logs revealed that
        WZSK was properly monitoring only one EAS source. There was no
        evidence that the station's EAS equipment was receiving the second
        local primary (LP-2) radio station WWOT on 100.1 MHz.

     d. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.3526(e)(4): The public inspection file shall contain
        a "copy of any service contour maps, submitted with any application
        tendered for filing with the FCC. . . ." At the time of the
        inspection, there was no service contour map in the public inspection
        file showing the station's community contour.

     e. 47 C.F.R. S:  73.3526(e)(5): The public inspection file shall contain
        a "copy of the most recent, complete ownership report filed with the
        FCC for the station, together with any statements filed with the FCC
        certifying that the current report is accurate, and together with all
        related material." At the time of inspection, the most current
        ownership report or certifying statements were not in the station's
        public inspection file.

     f. 47 C.F.R. S:  73.1870(b)(3): "The designation of the chief operator
        must be in writing with a copy of the designation posted with the
        station license." At the time of inspection, there was no written
        designation posted with the station license designating the chief
        operator.

     g. 47 C.F.R. S:  73.1350(c)(2): "Monitoring equipment must be
        periodically calibrated so as to provide reliable indications of
        transmitter operating parameters with a known degree of accuracy." At
        the time of inspection, the antenna input current meter reading was
        5.0 amperes whereas the station authorization specifies an antenna
        input current during critical hours of 6.82 amperes. The last
        calibration date on the antenna input current meter was October 1998.

     h. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1800(a): "The licensee of each station must maintain
        a station log as required by Section 73.1820." The required station
        logs documenting any tower light outages and adjustments to the
        transmission system were not available for inspection upon request.

    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. We also must investigate
       violations of other rules that apply to broadcast licensees.  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 violation(s) and any remedial actions the station may
       have taken.  Therefore, New Millenium 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
       New Millenium to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit
       or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of New Millenium with personal knowledge of the
       representations provided in New Millenium's response, verifying the
       truth and accuracy of the information therein, and confirming that all
       of the information requested by this Notice which is in the licensee's
       possession, custody, control, or knowledge has been produced. To
       knowingly and willfully make any false statement or conceal any
       material fact in reply to this Notice is punishable by fine or
       imprisonment under Title 18 of the U.S. Code.

    5. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should
       be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to
       the following address:

       including any information disclosed in your reply, to determine what,
       if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance. Any false
