Media Bureau Starts License Revocation Over Unpaid Reg Fees

The FCC Media Bureau initiated a proceeding that will revoke the licenses of two Daniel Stratemeyer-owned radio stations due to nearly $25,000 in unpaid regulatory and administrative fees, according to an order to pay or show cause in Friday’s Daily Digest. The delinquent fees are for WRIK(AM) Brookport, Illinois, and KZMA(FM) Naylor, Missouri, from fiscal years 2010, 2012 and 2013, the filing said. The FCC sent the bills to the Treasury Department for collection, and Stratemeyer has 60 days to show the fees are paid, or his stations could lose their licenses.
