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

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules^ to Oxford Media Group, Inc. (Oxford Media),
       licensee of TV Station WJYS-DT in Hammond, Indiana. 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(s) noted herein.^

    2. On December 6, 2012, an agent of the Commission's Chicago Office
       inspected Station WJYS-DT  at its main studio at 18600 South Oak Park
       Avenue, Tinley Park, Illinois, and observed the following violations:

   a. 47 C.F.R S 11.61(b): "Entries shall be made in EAS Participant records,
   as specified in SS 11.35(a) ...." At the time of the inspection, there
   were no entries in the station log concerning EAS tests sent and received
   during the last three weeks in August 2012 and tests sent during the last
   two weeks of November 2012.

   b. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1870 (b)(3): "The designation of the chief operator must
   be in writing with a copy of the designation posted with the station
   license." At the time of inspection, a copy of the written designation for
   the chief operator was not posted with the station license or made
   available to the FCC agent.

   c. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1870 (c)(3): "Review of the station records at least
   once each week to determine if required entries are being made correctly.
   Additionally, verification must be made that the station has been operated
   as required by the rules or the station authorization. Upon completion of
   the review, the chief operator or his designee must date and sign the log,
   initiate any corrective action which may be necessary, and advise the
   station licensee of any condition which is repetitive." At the time of
   inspection, there was no indication that the chief operator had signed the
   station log.

    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, Oxford Media must submit a written statement concerning

       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 Oxford Media
       to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
       authorized officer of Oxford Media with personal knowledge of 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
