You broadcastin’ to me?

The FCC is intensifying efforts to combat unauthorized broadcasters in New York City, issuing notices for two unlicensed FM stations in Brooklyn—90.5 MHz at 2617 Newkirk Avenue and 99.3 MHz at 70 Rockaway Parkway #39. Property owners face potential fines up to $2,316,034 under the PIRATE Act if found willfully allowing pirate radio broadcasting. They have ten business days to prove cessation of unlicensed broadcasting and identify involved individuals. The FCC’s increased focus on the NYC area has led to numerous warnings and fines for property owners and illegal broadcasters, with expectations for continued enforcement in 2024.
