                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: January 24, 2013

   By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Northeast Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules) to WNAP, Inc., licensee of AM
       Station WNAP in Norristown, Pennsylvania.  Pursuant to Section 1.89(a)
       of the Rules, issuance of this NOV 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 December  5, 2012, in response to a complaint, agents of the
       Enforcement Bureau's Philadelphia Office monitored Station WNAP
       located at 2311 Old Arch Road in Norristown, Pennsylvania, and
       observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S: 73.1560(a)(1): "Except as provided for in paragraph (d) of
   this section, the antenna input power of an AM station as determined by
   the procedures specified in S: 73.51 must be maintained as near as is
   practicable to the authorized antenna input power and may not be less than
   90% nor more than 105% of the authorized power."  According to the
   Post-Sunset Authority granted by the Commission,  Station WNAP is
   authorized to operate at 22.1 watts during its post-sunset period (4:30
   p.m.-5:15 p.m. Non-Advanced Standard Time) in the month of December.
   However, on December 5, 2012, WNAP was transmitting during its post-sunset
   period at a power level of 124 watts, or 561 percent of its authorized
   power. 

    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 violation and any remedial actions taken.  Therefore,
       WNAP, 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 WNAP, 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
       WNAP, Inc. with personal knowledge of the representations provided in
       WNAP, 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.

    5. All replies and documentation sent in response to this Notice should
       be marked with the File No. and NOV No. specified above, and mailed to
       the following address:

    7. The Privacy Act of 1974 requires that we advise you that the

       if any, enforcement action is required to ensure compliance.
