                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: November 30, 2012

   By the Acting District Director, Los Angeles Office, Western Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules), to Adelman Broadcasting Inc.,
       licensee of radio station WPOP540 in Ridgecrest, California. Pursuant
       to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of this Notice does not
       preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted,
       including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for
       the violation noted herein.

    2. On June 18, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles
       Office monitored and inspected radio station WPOP540 located at
       Ridgecrest, and observed the following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 1.903(a): General rule. Stations in the Wireless Radio
        Services must be used and operated only in accordance with the rules
        applicable to their particular service as set forth in this title and
        with a valid authorization granted by the Commission under the
        provisions of this part, except as specified in paragraph (b) of this
        section." According to its license, WPOP540 is authorized as the
        aural studio-to-transmitter link (STL) associated with KLOA, which is
        an AM radio station (facility identification #459). However, during
        the monitoring and inspection by the Los Angeles agent, station
        WPOP540 was not serving as the STL for KLOA(AM) but was serving as
        the aural STL for KLOA-LP, which is a low power television station
        with facility identification # 28583.

    3. Pursuant to Section 308(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
       amended, and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information
       concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken. Therefore,
       Adelman Broadcasting Inc., 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 Rules, we direct Adelman
       Broadcasting Inc. to support its response to this Notice with an
       affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by
       an authorized officer of Adelman Broadcasting Inc. with personal
       knowledge of the representations provided in Adelman Broadcasting
       Inc.'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.
