                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: February 27, 2013

   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 AMFM Broadcasting Licenses,
       LLC, licensee of radio station KBIG-FM, Los Angeles, 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 violations noted herein.^

    2. On January 23, 2013, in response to a complaint, an agent from the
       Enforcement Bureau's Los Angeles Office monitored KBIG-FM's broadcast
       transmission on 104.3 MHz. The monitoring revealed that the
       transmission failed to identify the station properly by announcing the
       station's call letters immediately followed by its community of
       license. The station simply identified itself as 104.3 FM. The
       following violation was observed:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 73.1201(b)(1): "Official station identification shall
        consist of the station's call letters immediately followed by the
        community or communities specified in its license as the station's
        location." During the time period that the station's transmissions
        were being monitored, the station failed to identify itself properly
        with call letters followed by community of license.

    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, AMFM Broadcasting Licenses, LLC 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 AMFM
       Broadcasting Licenses, LLC to support its response to this Notice with
       an affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated
       by an authorized officer of AMFM Broadcasting Licenses, LLC with
       personal knowledge of the representations provided in AMFM
       Broadcasting Licenses, LLC'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
