II. BACKGROUND
2. Pursuant to Section 73.3526(e) of the Rules,5 commercial broadcast stations are required to

of the Rules7 requires licensees to place in the public inspection file, for each calendar quarter, a list of the 
programs that have provided the station’s most significant treatment of community issues during the 
preceding three month period (“Issues/Programs Lists”).8  
3. On February 13, 2007, the Commission’s Atlanta Office of the Enforcement Bureau issued 
three NALs each in the amount of $4,000 to Wilson.  Wilson filed a consolidated response to the NALs, but 
the Bureau found no basis upon which to reduce the proposed forfeiture and issued the Forfeiture Order.  
Wilson filed a petition for reconsideration of the Forfeiture Order. On August 20, 2007, the Bureau released 
the MO&O denying Wilson’s petition for reconsideration.  Wilson filed an application for review of the 
MO&O, requesting that the forfeiture be cancelled or reduced.

violation of the Adopting Order or of the terms of this Consent Decree shall constitute a separate violation 
of a Bureau order, entitling the Bureau to exercise any rights and remedies attendant to the enforcement of
