By the Regional Director, Region One, Enforcement Bureau:
1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the 
Commission’s rules (Rules)
1
 to Mount Olive Broadcasting Co. (Mount Olive or Company), operator of 
AM broadcast station WDJS in Mount Olive, North Carolina.  Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules,

2. On March 10, 2017, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau’s Columbia Office inspected 
the Mount Olive broadcast station located in Mount Olive, North Carolina, and observed the following 
violations:
a. 47 CFR § 73.1225(a): “The licensee of a broadcast station shall make the 
station available for inspection by representatives of the FCC during the 
station’s business hours, or any time the station is in operation.”  On March 
10, 2017, the Commission agent was unable to complete a full inspection of 
station WDJS because there was no staff or managerial presence at the 
station’s main studio at 990 N. Main Street, Mount Olive, North Carolina 
between 11:10 (EST) and 13:45 (EST).  The agent called the station at its 
specified phone number several times during this period but no one 
representing the station answered the calls.

b. 47 CFR § 73.1350(a): “Each licensee is responsible for maintaining and 
operating its broadcast station in a manner which complies with the technical 
rules set forth elsewhere in this part and in accordance with the terms of the 
station authorization.”  Mount Olive is authorized under its license BL-
20070514AUC to operate Station WDJS during daytime and nighttime hours 
from a multiple antenna array located at coordinates 35° 12’ 01” North 
Latitude and 078° 07’ 23” West Longitude.  On March 10, 2017, the FCC 
Agent observed that Mount Olive was transmitting from an antenna structure 
assigned antenna structure registration (ASR) number 1241013, located at 
coordinates 35° 12’ 26.2” North Latitude and 78° 03’ 19.2” West Longitude.  
The antenna structure is located at the WDJS studio, which is 3.9 miles from 
the station authorization location.  There was no evidence that the

Temporary Authority to operate from the antenna structure site.
