Re: [IRCA] KGOW cheating

["Paul B. Walker, Jr." <walkerbroadcasting@xxxxxxxxx>]

Im not saying we need to monitor a station for the owners, but unless we can
pretty much, without a doubt, prove frivelous (spelling?) negligence on the
licensees part, we can't always assume the worst.. yet we do.

Just today, rather then report them to the FCC, I contacted the licensee of
a 2 tower AM DA that lights on both towers were out.. because I KNEW it
wasn't done on purpose.
