INTRODUCTION 1. In this Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (“NAL”), we find that Vision Latina Broadcasting, Inc. (“Vision Latina Broadcasting”), licensee of Station KBPO, Port Neches, Texas (the “Station”), apparently willfully and repeatedly violated sections 73.1125 and 73.3526 of the Commission’s rules (“Rules”)1 by failing to maintain: (1) a main studio with a meaningful staff and management presence; and (2) a complete public inspection file and make that file available. We conclude that Vision Latina Broadcasting is apparently liable for a forfeiture in the amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). In addition, no later than 30 days from the date of this NAL, Vision Latina Broadcasting must submit a statement signed under penalty of perjury by an officer or director of the licensee that: (1) Station KBPO’s main studio is staffed full-time by full-time managerial and staff personnel; and (2) Station KBPO’s public inspection file is complete.

We are conducting a public opinion survey today called the Alaska Survey. The survey concerns a variety of different topics that you’ll probably find interesting. IF CELLPHONE RESPONDENT… We’d like to get your input to the survey as a cellphone respondent. We’ve deliberately called you on the weekend so that hopefully we’re not using up your minutes, and we’d like to ask if you can safely respond to the survey where you are right now. IF LANDLINE RESPONDENT… Is this a residential telephone? IF "YES", CONTINUE... If they are available, I’d like to speak with the youngest male aged 18 or older in your household. (IF AVAILABLE, SWITCH AND REPEAT INTRO. IF NOT AVAILABLE…) How about the youngest female aged 18 or older? (IF AVAILABLE, SWITCH AND REPEAT INTRO. IF NOT AVAILABLE, CONTINUE WITH RESPONDENT.) All phone numbers used for this survey were randomly generated. We don’t know your name, but your opinions are important to us, and we'd appreciate your participation if that's OK with you. Of course, your responses will be completely confidential. S1.
