                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: March 24, 2014

   By the District Director, Dallas Office, South Central Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's rules (Rules)^ to Buford Media Group, LLC, owner
       of antenna structure number 1055025 in Commerce, Texas (Antenna
       Structure). 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 September 25, 2013, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Dallas
       Office inspected antenna structure number 1055025 located in Commerce,
       TX, and observed the following violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S 17.4(g): "The Antenna Structure Registration Number must
        be displayed in a conspicuous place so that it is readily visible
        near the base of the antenna structure. Material used to display the
        Antenna Structure Registration Number must be weather resistant and
        of sufficient size to be easily seen at the base of the antenna
        structure." At the time of inspection, the agent observed that the
        Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) Number was not posted near the
        base of the structure.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S 17.57: "The owner of an antenna structure for which an
        Antenna Structure Registration Number has been obtained must notify
        the Commission within 24 hours of completion of construction (FCC
        Form 854-R) and/or dismantlement (FCC Form 854). The owner must also
        immediately notify the Commission using FCC Form 854 upon any change
        in structure height or change in ownership information." On March 5,
        2014, Buford Media Group provided information to the Dallas Office
        which indicates that Buford Media Group purchased the Antenna
        Structure on July 19, 2010 from Windjammer Communications, LLC. As of
        March 11, 2014, the ASR database lists Time Warner Cable Texas LLC as
        the owner of the Antenna Structure.

    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, Buford Media Group, 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 Buford Media
       Group, LLC to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
       declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an
