No. 200432700012 FRN 0005815832 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. 57 3 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.
