   By the District Director, Boston  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  Media Broadcasting Co Inc.
       (MBC), registrant of antenna structure  1004502 in Fall River,
       Massachusetts.  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 noted herein.^

    2. On September  24, 2015, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau's Boston
       Office inspected antenna structure 1004502  located  behind the
       business building at 1658 President Ave in  Fall River, Massachusetts,
       and observed the following violation:

   47 C.F.R. S 17.21 (a) "Antenna structures shall be painted and lighted
   when they exceed 60.96 meters (200 feet) in height above the ground or
   they require special aeronautical study." At the time of inspection, on
   the night of September 24, 2015, agent observed no top red flashing beacon
   on the antenna structure number 1004502.

   The agent contacted MBC  on September 25, 2015 and informed of the red
   beacon out observed on September 24, at approximately 8 PM. On September
   30, after notifying MBC, the agent checked again and found that MBC did
   not file NOTAM.

    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 violation and any remedial actions taken.
       Therefore, MBC must submit a written statement concerning this matter
       within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response (i)
       must fully explain the violation, including all relevant surrounding
       facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a statement of the specific
       action(s) taken to correct the 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 MBC to support
       its response to this Notice with an affidavit or declaration under
       penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized officer of MBC
       with personal knowledge of the representations provided in MBC'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
