FCC agents and the office of U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz seized equipment from three Massachusetts pirate radio operators, the FCC said in a news release (http://bit.ly/1msFouP). The stations, operating from Everett, Mattapan, Brockton and Boston, allegedly operated without FCC licenses, Ortiz’s office said in a separate news release (http://1.usa.gov/1ttnLiK). One station operated from multiple locations, it said. Forfeiture actions were brought after complaints were received, “including a complaint from a licensed broadcaster about interference with its radio signal,” it said. Federal officials seized the equipment last week from the stations using frequencies 100.1 MHz, 106.1 MHz, and 88.7 MHz, it said.
