FCC Warns 13 NY Landowners Over Pirate Broadcasts

The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau sent warnings to 13 New York metropolitan-area landowners over pirate radio broadcasts from their properties, an agency news release and notices of violation released late Thursday said. The notices targeted landowners in New York City and Spring Valley, N.Y., as well as in New Jersey's Newark and Irvington, the release said. The notices warn landowners that each could face a fine of up to nearly $2.4 million for hosting an unauthorized radio broadcast.
