Fresno / Central Valley KVSJ Tracy (License Cancelled)

Looking through the history, in 2025 the FCC caught them transmitting nothing but dead air from an unauthorized location, gave them multiple chances to get their act together, and they never did.

"We find that the Station has been silent and/or operating from an unauthorized location for more than 12 consecutive months. Therefore, its license terminated pursuant to section 312(g) of the Act."

Reportedly the station had been silent for years:

I read the entire document, including the narrative. Any licensee who is as stupid as this one was not only deserves the license revocation, they should be banned from ever having anything to do with any station in the future, in perpetuity.

Where did you find the narrative, was it on the FCC's site?

There are more stations that are silent longer than 12 months that need to be gotten rid of.

So take recordings of them and submit complaints to the FCC. When there are multiple people complaining about the same station with audio recorded proof of whatever the complainers think is wrong, the FCC will investigate.
 
One of the more difficult things associated with all of this is that once a signal is deleted it's gone. No ability to bring it back until the next filing window.

That is only the case with allocations in the commercial FM band. Any non-profit that wanted to submit engineering studies to apply for 89.5 can do so at any time (there is no filing window for full-power non-comms, last I checked).

There is going to be one for non-comm translators, but as I said originally, if there was one for full-power NCEs it has faded from my memory and I am pretty sure there is not one pending.

Full-power NCE FMs require a filing window. The last one was a few years ago and there's not another on the horizon.

Once again proving how faulty my memory is about things I don't need to care about.
