FCC Enforcement Bureau Issues Pirate Notices

The FCC Enforcement Bureau issued several notices of illegal pirate radio broadcasting to addresses in New York last week, according to letters in Monday’s Daily Digest. Letters were sent to Jean Yvon Francois and Elcie Francois-Lapomarede in Brooklyn, Michelle Hepburn in Mount Vernon, the Rachel Bridge Corp. in New York City, Paul Wilfrid in Cambria Heights, and 2062 Holding Corp. in the Bronx, warning of possible forfeitures of over $2 million for “entities found to willfully and knowingly suffer (i.e., permit) a third party” to make unauthorized broadcasts on their property. The subjects of the letters have 10 days to respond to the agency, the letters said.
