WASHINGTON, D.C. — The FCC Enforcement Bureau on Wednesday issued 16 warnings to landowners in the New York Tri-State Area, located in the Garden State and in Empire State, for apparently allowing unlicensed radio broadcasting from their property.
The cease-and-desist actions are a result of the PIRATE Act, and it puts the landlords on notice that they could end up with a $2 million fine if the property owner doesn’t take measures to stop any individual or entity who is considered to be a broadcasting buccaneer.
