Title: Best FCC forfeiture order ever
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on July 26, 2025, 1258 UTC
Gotta love an FCC forfeiture order that includes the phrase "procedurally deficient shenanigans"...

"Rather than properly filing a response to the Notice, Pentecostal Temple engaged in procedurally deficient shenanigans."

And it's got the obligatory fine for bad paint on the tower!

"In this case, we impose a penalty of $25,000 against Pentecostal Temple Development Corporation (Pentecostal Temple)1 for failing to properly light two antenna structures, for failing to notify the FAA of lighting extinguishments, and for failing to clean or repaint the antenna structures as often as necessary to maintain good visibility."

They should claim they're now Amish and the antenna isn't allowed to call attention to itself with ostentation paint and lighting.
