                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: December  20, 2012

   By the District Director, Denver 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 Citicasters Co. (Citicasters), 
       registrant of Antenna Structure # 1034536 in Wellington, Colorado.  
       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 violations noted herein.

    2. On October 30, 2012, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Denver

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.23: "Unless otherwise specified by the Commission,
        each new or altered antenna structure to be registered on or after

        recommendations set forth on the structure's FAA determination of `no
        hazard'  as referenced in the. . .  FAA Advisory Circulars."  The FCC
        Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) for antenna structure # 1034536
        requires that it be lit in accordance with Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 13
        of FAA Circular Number 70/7460-1J. Chapter 5 requires one flashing
        beacon at the top of structure and two flashing beacons at the .
        level of the tower. In addition, three sidelights shall be installed
        at the . and . levels of the tower. During the inspection on October
        30, 2012, the agent observed that one flashing beacon was installed
        at the top of the tower and two sidelights at the 1/3- and 2/3-levels
        of the tower.

    3. Pursuant to Section  403 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,
