It's a rather long read so here's the end of it.
CONCLUDING STATEMENT 35. The Snake River HDO designated for hearing a determination of whether the license for KPCQ(AM), Chubbuck, Idaho, automatically cancelled pursuant to section 312(g) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 312(g), due to silence that lasted for more than 12 consecutive months. Based on the foregoing, the Presiding Judge concludes that Snake River Radio has proved by a preponderance of the evidence that the station was not off the air for more than 12 consecutive months. In the event that the license did not automatically cancel, the Snake River HDO designated for hearing a determination of whether the station, during the preceding license term, satisfied the renewal standards enumerated in section 309(k)(1) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 309(k)(1), and whether the licensee’s application for renewal should be granted on such terms and conditions as are appropriate, including renewal for a term less than the maximum otherwise permitted, or should be denied. Based on the foregoing, the Presiding Judge concludes that Snake River Radio has not proved by a preponderance of the evidence that it satisfied the renewal standards of section 309(k)(1), but that mitigating factors exist to find that a one-year renewal of the station’s license pursuant to section 309(k)(2) is in the public interest and constitutes an appropriate sanction. ORDERING CLAUSES 36. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 309(k)(2) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 309(k)(2), the application for renewal of license for Station KPCQ(AM), Chubbuck, Idaho (File No. 0000151021), filed by Snake River Radio, LLC, IS GRANTED FOR A TERM OF ONE YEAR from the release date of this Initial Decision.
