The owner of a Class A FM radio station serving a small Texas city where U.S. Highways 83, 62 and 70 converge could be stripped of its license, due to overdue regulatory fees owed to the FCC.
The licensee simply needs to pay $2,856.43 to the Commission to resolve the matter.
KPZX-FM 94.7 in Paducah, Tex., located between Lubbock and Wichita Falls, received an Order to Pay or Show Cause issued by Media Bureau Acting Chief Alex Sanjenis and Office of Managing Director head Daniel Daly for the nonpayment of regulatory fees.
At issue: Unpaid regulatory fee debt for KPZX of $1,483.49 for FY 2021; and $1,372.94 for FY 2022.
Treasury Department efforts to collect the overdue regulatory fees from the licensee, Luis E. Giraldo, were unsuccessful.
He now has 60 days from June 10 to respond to the Order.
