                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: August  15, 2013

   By the District Director, San Francisco Office, Western Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's Rules,^ to Fat Dawgs 7 Broadcasting LLC,
       registrant of Antenna Structure # 1036641 in Clovis, California.
       Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Commission's 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 March 1, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's San Francisco
       Office inspected Antenna Structure # 1036641, located at Clovis,
       California, and observed the following violation:

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 17.48 "The owner of any antenna structure which is
        registered with the Commission and has been assigned lighting
        specifications referenced in this part: (a) Shall report immediately
        by telephone or telegraph to the nearest Flight Service Station or
        office of the Federal Aviation Administration any observed or
        otherwise known extinguishment or improper functioning of any top
        steady burning light or any flashing obstruction light, regardless of
        its position on the antenna structure, not corrected within 30
        minutes." The San Francisco agent called the Federal Aviation
        Administration (FAA) and reported the tower light outage. A current
        NOTAM was not in effect. The registrant, Fat Dawgs 7 Broadcasting LLC
        had failed to notify the FAA of the tower light outage.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 17.51(a): "All red obstruction lighting shall be
        exhibited from sunset to sunrise unless otherwise specified." During
        the inspection conducted at night on March 1, 2013, the agent
        observed that the top red obstruction lighting was extinguished on
        the antenna structure.

    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, Fat Dawgs 7 Broadcasting 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 Fat Dawgs 7
       Broadcasting LLC to support its response to this Notice with an
       affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by
