Post by: Steve - K4HX on August 22, 2024, 06:57:43 PM
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued a Forfeiture Order in connection with its investigation of a Bronx, NY, pirate radio station operator.

Issued in early August, the Forfeiture Order confirms the agency’s proposed fine of $2.3 million against Johnny Peralta, the alleged operator of an unauthorized radio station on 105.7 MHz, known as “La Mia Radio.” Peralta must pay the Forfeiture Penalty by early September or face further prosecution by the U.S. Department of Justice.
