FCC proposed Emergency Alert System penalty
The FCC proposed a $369,190 fine against KCWX in January 2025, alleging violations involving National Periodic Tests of the Emergency Alert System conducted in 2018, 2019, and 2021. The allegations included rebroadcasting material from earlier tests, using simulated messages instead of authorized test messages, and inaccurately indicating that tests had been received. The supplied reference does not state that the proposed penalty had become final.
