                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: September 30, 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 Cable One, Inc., in Globe, Arizona.
       This Notice may be combined with a further action, if further action
       is warranted.

    2. On July 15, 2010,   an agent  of the Enforcement Bureau's San Diego 
       Office inspected Cable One,  located at  727 Paxton Avenue, Globe,
       Arizona, and observed the following violations:

   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 must be made  in the [...] cable system
   records as specified in Sec. 76.1700, 76.1708, and 76.1711 of this
   chapter."  At the time of the inspection, the agent found that there were
   no entries in the station log indicating why tests  had not been received
   from the primary local primary (LP-1)  Emergency Management 158.940 MHz
   over the three months prior to the inspection.

   b. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.61(a): "EAS Participants shall conduct tests at regular
   intervals as specified in paragraphs (a) (1) and (a) (2) of this section.
   Additional tests may be performed anytime. EAS activations and special
   tests may be performed in lieu of the required tests as specified in
   paragraph (a) (4) of this section. All tests will conform to the
   procedures in the EAS Operating Handbook." At the time of inspection Cable
   One failed to ensure that all the  Required Monthly Tests (RMT) of the EAS
   system were conducted or received from the LP-1 and LP-2 over the three
   months prior to the inspection.

   c. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.51(g)(3): "Cable systems and wireless cable systems
   shall transmit a visual EAS message on at least one channel. The message
   shall contain the Originator, Event, Location, and the valid time period
   of the EAS message. If the visual message is a  video crawl, it shall be
   displayed at the top of the subscriber's television screen or where it
   will not interfere with other visual  messages."   At the time of the
   inspection, the agent observed that no video showed on the screen of any
   channels, but the audio was heard.

   d. 47 C.F.R. S: 76.612(a)(1): "All cable television systems which operate
   in the

   frequency bands 108-137 and 225-400 MHz shall comply with the following

   frequency separation standards: All such cable carriers or signal
   components

   shall be offset by 12.5 kHz with a frequency tolerance of +/- 5 kHz." At
   the

   time of the inspection, the agent observed the following channels were

   operating outside the allowable frequency tolerance:

   Ch 27 Meas. 241.2550 MHz, Auth 241.2625 MHz, Difference 7.5 kHz

   Ch 48 Meas. 367.2530 MHz, Auth 367.2625 MHz, Difference 9.5 kHz

    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, Cable One 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
       Cable One,  to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit
       or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of Cable One, with personal knowledge of the
       representations provided in Cable One 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
