There's nothing at all unusual or odd about that. This is a procedural, 
paperwork thing that affects a dozen or two stations every renewal 
cycle. Usually someone forgot to file the renewal paperwork properly, 
and in some cases (WBAA in Indiana), the paperwork may simply have been 
lost at the FCC's end.

The practice at the FCC is to allow the stations in question to file a 
late renewal application, then usually fine them several thousand 
dollars for late filing and, in some cases, unlicensed operation. But 
the renewal is almost always granted.

There have already been at least 20 of these this year.
