No. MB-201841410020 ) FRN: 0003766847 Licensee of Station WPON(AM) ) Facility ID No. 22045 Walled Lake, Michigan ) File No. BR-20120426ABI ) MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER AND NOTICE OF APPARENT LIABILITY FOR FORFEITURE Adopted: December 21, 2018 Released: December 21, 2018 By the Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau: I. INTRODUCTION 1. We have before us an application for renewal of license (Renewal Application), filed on April 26, 2012,1 for Station WPON(AM), Walled Lake, Michigan (Station), by Birach Broadcasting Corporation (BBC or Licensee). 2. In this Memorandum Opinion and Order and Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture (NAL),2 we find, as discussed below, that Licensee apparently has willfully and repeatedly operated the Station at variance from its license without Commission authorization in violation of Section 301 of the Act3 and Section 73.1745(a)4 of the Rules; willfully failed to timely file for special temporary authorization to operate with its nonconforming technical facilities in violation of Section 73.1635(a)(1)5 of the Rules; and willfully failed to disclose material information regarding the unauthorized operations in violation of Section 1.176 of the Rules. Based on our review of the record before us, we conclude that BBC is apparently liable for a monetary forfeiture in the amount of eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000) for these violations. Upon the conclusion of this enforcement proceeding, we will grant the Renewal Application for a period of one year.
