1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89 of the 
Commission’s rules (Rules)
1
to Jackson Radio, LLC., (Jackson Radio) licensee of radio station W256BL
in Ridgeland, MS. Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of this Notice does not preclude the

2. On March 31, 2016, an agent of the Enforcement Bureau’s New Orleans Office 
monitored radio station W256BL located in Jackson, MS, and observed the following violation:
a. 47 C.F.R. § 74.1263(b): “An FM booster or FM translator station 
rebroadcasting the signal of an AM or FM primary station shall not be 
permitted to radiate during extended periods when signals of the primary 
station are not being retransmitted. FM translators rebroadcasting Class D 
AM stations may continue to operate during nighttime hours only if the AM 
station has operated within the last 24 hours.” At the time of monitoring,
between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., W256BL was radiating a modulated carrier, 
and WFQY-AM, primary station of W256BL, was radiating an unmodulated 
carrier. Therefore, W256BL was not retransmitting the signal of its primary 
station.
