FCC proposes $144K fine against Morehead TV station
MOREHEAD - Two local television station operators are under fire from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for allegedly operating without a license for nearly 20 years.
The commission has proposed the maximum fine of $144,344 against the two for continuing operations.
Vearl Pennington and Michael Williamson, operators of DW10BM in Morehead, were named in a FCC release last week that said the two continued to operate the television station well after the FCC license for the station was cancelled following failure to file a renewal.
The low-power station locally famous for their program “Buy a Dog, Sell a Hog” is located at 135 Lee Cemetery Road.
