KIOF-LP Las Vegas cancellation notice to the FCC. They also hold a CP for a new NCE NW of Las Vegas KQQY-FM. I wonder if they will cancel this one as well?
On Sunday, September 4, 2022, Las Vegas Public Radio Inc., FCC broadcast licensee of KIOF-LP 97.9 FM in Las Vegas, Nevada powered down it’s FM transmitter at 1:45 PM after 6 years, 7 months, 3 days (or 79 months, 3 days) of continuously serving the Las Vegas, Nevada community.
Our final KIOF-LP 97.9 FM broadcast today concludes with this official email message to the FCC that the general public's 1st Amendment Rights have now been fully taken away and the United States of America has completed it’s conversion to full communism with facts in this email that show the full conversion was done in 2022.
Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. was frivolously denied Radio Community Service Grant (Radio CSG) funding(corporate welfare) by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) in years 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. did not apply for Radio CSG funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 2020, 2021 or 2022. It seems that if your black, the CPB has your back, but if your white they tell you to go fly a kite like Bank of America has just done with their new discriminatory minority lending policies. The CPB’s mission statement and non-transparent public policies, rules and regulations are communist by design and have been since 1967 because diversity, inclusion and equity are not exercised fairly by the CPB Radio CSG.
The CPB’s Office of Inspector General is totally non-transparent and does not answer inquires in a professional manor. Our entire commerce activity has been effectively shutdown by CPB in the Las Vegas, Nevada marketplace due to their Sherman Antitrust violations as well as U.S. Constitutional violations which are visibly seen – their discriminatory, confiscatory and exclusionary policies, rules, regulations and requirements that favor certain organizations within their framework which should have been graduated out of the CPB system because they are self-sustaining. The CPB grants waivers to only inside players and then uses their selective authoritarian and totalitarian dictatorial decision making to pick and chose winners and losers in marketplaces favoring the good old boys network that they want to maintain via corporate welfare. In years 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. was unable to access State of Nevada's Public Broadcasting System (PBS) “incentive” grant money through the Nevada Department of Education (NDE) that would have kept KIOF-LP 97.9 FM on the air if Nevada Department of Education officials allowed KIOF-LP 97.9 FM to participate in the State of Nevada “incentive” monies to maintain operations serving the Las Vegas, Nevada community. Although Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. received the base grant, the Nevada Department of Education required KIOF-LP 97.9 FM to be a “grantee” inside the Corporation for Public Broadcasting when other Nevada Department of Education broadcast “grantees” received in “incentive” monies and “stimulus” funds to take care Education forced KIOF-LP 97.9 FM to be a participant in the knowingly, that KIOF-LP 97.9 FM was an “independent” station and not required to be in the CPB Radio CSG grantee program. hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars of themselves. The Nevada Department of CPB Radio CSG program which they could, Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and economic downturn, Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. was also denied America Rescue Plan funds through the City of Las Vegas, Nevada in 2021 as well as no answer on re-applying for those same funds through the State of Nevada directly in early 2022. Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. also re-applied in 2022 for the U.S. Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) that it had returned to the federal government in 2020. As of May 2022, the U.S. Small Business Administration took no action on that request and no funds have been received by Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. and our organization is unable to pay it’s tower rental and other expenses due to a 99% loss in underwriting, contributions and sponsorship revenues right up until 2022 Quarter 3 within the Las Vegas, Nevada community.
Most recently, Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. applied for a special grant through the U.S Department of Veteran’s Affairs to cover costs at KIOF-LP 97.9 FM. This special grant was denied by the U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs. All KIOF-LP 97.9 FM Emergency Alert System (EAS) services are hereby terminated for the Las Vegas, Nevada community. This will have an impact to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (as part of de-funding the police), NOAA, U.S. Department of Homeland Security/FEMA (due to the EAS mandates, FEMA never included Las Vegas Public Radio Inc. in any funding), other local/area agencies like fire and rescue including the Amber Alert System requirement. This email will be made available tothe general public on our website.
Las Vegas Public Radio Inc hereby returns the FCC broadcast license of KIOF-LP 97.9 FM effective
immediately.
