                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: October 7, 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  Premier Radio Stations, LLC,  c/o
       LPC Investments, LLC ("Premier Radio")  licensee of AM Broadcast radio
       station KFNX(AM)  in  Cave Creek, Arizona..  This Notice may be
       combined with a further action, if further action is warranted.

    2. On July 21, 2010,  an agent  of the Enforcement Bureau's San Diego 
       Office inspected KFNX  located at 2001 N. 3rd Street, Suite 102,
       Phoenix, California  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 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
   tests had not been periodically received or sent during various weeks
   during 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 required tests as specified in paragraph
   (a)(4) of this section. All tests will conform with the procedures in the
   EAS Operating Handbook." At the time of the inspection, the licensee
   failed to ensure that, over the three months prior to the inspection,
   multiple tests of the EAS system were conducted

   c. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.3526(e)(7): "Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) file.
   Such information as is required by S: 73.2080 is to be kept in the public
   inspection file." At the time of the inspection, the required EEO
   information was not in KFNX's public inspection file.

    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 violations and any remedial actions the station may
       have taken.  Therefore, Premier Radio, 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
       Premier Radio,  to support its response to this Notice with an
       affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by
       an authorized officer of Premier Radio, with personal knowledge of the
       representations provided in Premier Radio'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.
