FCC Issues Warnings Regarding Boston-Area Pirate Radio Operations

Nine Boston-area property owners were warned they could face hefty fines for pirate FM radio broadcast stations supposedly operating from their properties. The FCC on Friday posted a series of letters, dated Dec. 1, sent to property owners in Brockton, Dorchester, Elmwood, Mattapan and Randolph, Massachusetts. They warn of fines of $2.3 million and say property owners have 10 days to prove they're no longer permitting pirate radio broadcasting.
