                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: March 8, 2010

   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 to Universal Broadcasting of New York,
       Inc., licensee of AM radio station WTHE in Mineola, New York. This
       Notice may be combined with a further action, if further action is
       warranted.

    2. On December 2, 2009, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's New York
       Office inspected WTHE's main studio located at 260 E. 2nd Street,
       Mineola, NY 11501, and observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.52(d): "Broadcast stations and cable systems and
        wireless cable systems must monitor two EAS sources. The monitoring
        assignments of each broadcast station and cable system and wireless
        cable system are specified in the State EAS Plan and FCC Mapbook. . .
        ." The agent found that station WTHE was monitoring only one of its
        assigned EAS sources.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S:11.61(b): "Entries shall be made in EAS Participant
        records, as specified in Sections 11.35(a) and 11.54(b)(13)." The
        agent found that entries were not made in the EAS logs to show
        Required Weekly Tests ("RWT") received and Required Monthly Tests
        ("RMT") received or sent from July 1, 2009 to November 30, 2009.
        There were no entries in the station logs indicating the reasons why
        the required EAS tests were not received or sent.

     c. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1590(a)(6): "The licensee of each AM, FM, TV and
        Class A TV station, except licensees of Class D non-commercial
        educational FM stations authorized to operate with 10 watts or less
        output power, must make equipment performance measurements for each
        main transmitter as follows: Annually, for AM stations, with not more
        than 14 months between measurements." At the time of inspection, no
        equipment performance measurements were available for inspection, as
        required by 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1590(d).

    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

       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
