The FCC's Media Bureau has issued a $2,000 notice of apparent liability to
KXEO Radio Inc, saying the public files for KXEO-AM and KWWR-FM in Mexico,
MO were missing documents at the time their licenses came up for renewal. In
its renewal application, KXEO explained that the missing issues/programs
files were in its public file at one time, but in 2010, the longtime GM
walked out of the station "never to return," and took the files with him.
The application claims the GM -- now deceased -- offered to sell the files
back to the station for $100,000. The files for 2004-2010 were never found.
The base forfeiture for public file violations is $10,000, but the bureau
noted that "the required items were prepared and placed in the public
inspection files but were subsequently removed by the former general manager
upon his less-than-amicable departure from the stations," and reduced the
proposed forfeiture to $1,000 per station. KXEO Inc. has 30 days to pay the
forfeiture or file a written statement asking for it to be reduced or
canceled; once the matter is resolved, its license application will be
granted.
