The FCC has ordered a Pompano Beach, FL pirate to pay a $20,000 penalty for operating a pirate radio station at 92.5 FM. In June 2013, Enforcement Bureau field agents tracked the station’s broadcast back to an apartment rented by Marc-Nus Charles. Charles has a history of operating pirate stations in Pompano Beach. In 2009 the FCC says he was responsible for another unlicensed station. The agency says the penalty is twice the base fine since Charles ignored two written warnings about his station.
So this guy ignored not one, but two warnings. Hmmm....after reading around the web on this it seems that South Florida is a hotbed of illicit FM broadcasters. If you're taking money out of the pockets of legitimate licensed FM stations by garnering listeners, you are almost certain to get the knock.
