In August 2023, B&C Communications was handed a $9,000 fine for regulatory transgressions associated with WPAN-TV in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. Specifically, the licensee was delinquent in the filing of issues/programs lists associated with the UHF property in the Panhandle region of Florida.
Three months later, the suggested fiscal penalty was affirmed by FCC Media Division Video Bureau Chief Barbara Kreisman. Now, B&C must pay up — but successfully lobbied for a lower fine.
