This was posted today on the FRN by Radio Brandy:
The FCC is planning on doing a mega raid in the Boston area soon. The stations are well past the warning stage and going overboard on their power outputs and less than radio clean programming.
As you know the FCC does not actually do the raid; it relies on other government agents to do the dirty work. It is the time making those agents available that is delaying the mega raid. Once everything is in place: It's showtime in Boston.
The goal is to do it all at once; to avoid equipment leaving out the backdoor and set up shop else ware. Agents from the FCC will be staged at all the offending stations prior to the raids.
Some of the stations involved are for profit stations; so expect the IRS to get involved too.
If you are in the Boston area, consider yourself warned.

I got this information straight from one of their North East agents; they hope to have it all cleaned up over the summer. The last tip was dead on; the station got a visit the very next day. I would hate to see anyone lose their equipment.
Update Sept 6 2010: Agent says the FCC decided to clean house in other major cities first; the FCC has been very busy on the east coast this summer.
