   Released: July 5, 2011

   By the Resident Agent, Portland Resident Agent 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 Bicoastal Media Licenses VI, LLC
       ("Bicoastal Media"), licensee of radio station KMED in Medford,
       Oregon. This Notice may be combined with a further action, if further
       action is warranted.

    2. On June 15, 2011, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Portland
       Resident Agent Office inspected radio station KMED  located at 3624
       Avion Drive, Medford, Oregon, and observed the following violations:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 11.61(a)(2)(i)(A): "Required Weekly Tests: Analog and
        digital AM, FM, and TV broadcast stations must conduct tests of the
        EAS headers and EOM codes at least once a week at random days and
        times..." During the inspection on June 15, 2011, the FCC inspector
        determined that KMED did not conduct the Required Weekly Tests from
        the period from June 1 through June 15, 2011.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 73.1590(a)(6): "The licensee of each AM, FM, TV and

        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 the inspection,
        Bicoastal Media could not produce any equipment performance
        measurements for KMED.
