MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
Adopted: June 22, 2004 Released: June 24,
2004
By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau:
1. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order (``Order''), we
cancel a thirteen thousand dollar ($13,000) Notice of Apparent
Liability for Forfeiture (``NAL'')1 issued to WGUL-FM, Inc.
(``WGUL-FM'') for its apparent willful and repeated violation of
Sections 17.51(a)2 and 17.573 of the Commission's Rules
(``Rules''). The alleged violation involved WGUL-FM's failure to
exhibit the required red obstruction lighting on antenna
structure #1027884 from sunset to sunrise and failure to notify
the Commission immediately upon any change in ownership
information. Based on our review of WGUL-FM's response to the
NAL, we conclude that, contrary to the contemporaneous statements
made by WGUL-FM employees at the time of the inspection, WGUL-FM
is not the owner of antenna structure #1027884. Thus, we
conclude that no forfeiture should be imposed against WGUL-FM.
2. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to Section
504(b) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and Section
1.80(f)(4) of the Rules,4 the instant Notice of Apparent
Liability for Forfeiture, NAL/Acct. No. 200432700012, IS
CANCELLED.
3. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a copy of this Order shall
be sent first class mail and certified mail, return receipt
requested, to WGUL-FM, Inc., 35048 US Highway 19, North, Palm
Harbor, FL 34684 and James A. Koerner, Counsel for WGUL-FM, Inc.,
5809 Nicholson Lane, Suite 124, North Bethesda, MD 20852-5706.
