What time was this? Was the only attempt? The FCC tried three times and attempts to contact the licensee before taking any legal action. Worst that would happen is a fine.....been there, seen it happen.....SO some of the money Henderson gets may have to go the FCC Enforcement Bureau......won't stop the sale to KSBJ and its current operation.

Mr. Donalson:
What is it that you want Mr. Henderson to do here to make your
“informal objection” go away?
These the two LPTV facilities that Mr. Henderson had have been turned
in. I do not know how either can be revived.
Mr. Henderson is willing to work here to make all this go away and get
his facility sold.
Please advise.

Go Away? NOT!
Mr. Trent:
Without actually saying it, your email is implicitly offering me money to "go away." I don't know whether to be offended and angry, or just cry. What I do know is that I don't want any "hush money." As the saying goes, money is the root of evil.
Mr. Trent, there's an inoperable tumor that's been growing in my head for some time now. I live in daily pain, and it will only get worse for however much longer I survive -- two years, three, four; only God knows. Whether this is affecting my thinking, priorities, and/or outlook on life -- who knows? What I do know is that I had a dream. A dream to resurrect a TV station that I watched regularly during the happiest time of my life. Houston Hit Video TV 5 See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFrZguGwKKM
That station eventually got bought out and shut down. I don't know how Roy ended up with it, but two years ago FCC officials advised it was still a valid license that could be put back on the air. So I drove to Brenham and talked to Lori Henderson. I drove to Michigan and talked to Roy's people in Traverse City. And finally I was put in touch with Roy's TV lawyer Ben Perez. He told me he represented Roy and had authority to make agreements on Roy's behalf. He okayed me putting the analog stations KJIB/KVDO back on at my own cost as noncommercial nonprofit operations, and promised to take care of all the paperwork for temporary authority to broadcast from a small tower next to my church. Thus, I spent a lot of time and money to put the station back. It covered a small area of SW Houston. See https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...4122480&type=3&theater&viewas=100000686899395 See https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...4122480&type=3&theater&viewas=100000686899395 See https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?...4122480&type=3&theater&viewas=100000686899395
Then, months later, for whatever reason Mr. Henderson decided to claim that his lawyer didn't have his authorization to make such a deal and insisted I shut my station down. I refused. Instead, I filed an affidavit of adverse possession at the courthouse, renewed Mr. Henderson's expired business license for "Far Eastern Telecasters" in my own name, and notified the FCC of the situation. The folks in Washington advised that unless Mr. Henderson filed a complaint about my continued operation, this was a dispute for civil court not the FCC. Mr. Henderson never made a complaint; later on, he just refused to renew the license. Thus, I went to Washington and filed a renewal in person.
Mr. Henderson's response: Through you, Mr. Trent, the licenses were "surrendered." The only reason I can see for this action -- literally, throwing away something very valuable -- was pure spite. In operating this station, I was fulfilling a dream. Not only that, I had found a ministry willing to pay for the buildout of a digital facility. Good folks wanting to put the station to good use. Mr. Henderson would have received thousands of dollars just to okay it; instead, he just threw it all away. Thus, after a lengthy talk with Hossein Hashemzadeh, the chief of the FCC's video division, on June 3rd I had no choice but to pull the plug on the transmitter and dismantle the room set up as a studio. Now, the only remnants left are an unusued 50 foot tower, a footnote about KVDO on Wikipedia -- See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KVDO-LP -- and the station's website http://www.kvdo.net
Mr. Trent, your email states: "These the two LPTV facilities that Mr. Henderson had have been turned in. I do not know how either can be revived." In Texas, we have a crude reply to a statement like this: BULLSHIT! The fact remains that your letter states you turned them in on behalf or Roy Henderson and Far Eastern Telecasters -- a legal entity that Mr. Henderson no longer owns. You did not have legal authority to do surrender anything on behalf of the current owners of Far Eastern.
Moreover, with as much legal wrangling and maneuvering as you've done for Mr. Henderson over the years, surely you can think of a way to right this wrong. You could notify the FCC that your letter was sent in by mistake, that there was a miscommunication with your client, or that there was a clerical error and it was meant only to surrender the license for KJIB not KVDO. You probably can come up with other ways; you're the expert FCC lawyer, not me.
Tell Mr. Henderson to right this wrong. When I can once again live my dream and air this station ID -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp47HhaTpT4&list=UUGIPGv83CzYnjuPwX0l70Vg -- that's when I will stop complaining about all of Mr. Henderson's misdeeds and just "go away."

GOD you are such an ass Joe...lets take a look at this:
Mr. Trent, there's an inoperable tumor that's been growing in my head for some time now. I live in daily pain, and it will only get worse for however much longer I survive -- two years, three, four; only God knows. Whether this is affecting my thinking, priorities, and/or outlook on life -- who knows? What I do know is that I had a dream. A dream to resurrect a TV station that I watched regularly during the happiest time of my life. Houston Hit Video TV 5
"OH PLEASE pity me because I am a likely to die (or may not) and feel I need to be treated differently and because I dont have the resources or knowledge on how to do it right, I want to have it given to me NOW and forgo any LAWS that require a certain method used by anyone else....because of my illness!"
And finally I was put in touch with Roy's TV lawyer Ben Perez. He told me he represented Roy and had authority to make agreements on Roy's behalf. He okayed me putting the analog stations KJIB/KVDO back on at my own cost as noncommercial nonprofit operations, and promised to take care of all the paperwork for temporary authority to broadcast from a small tower next to my church. Thus, I spent a lot of time and money to put the station back. It covered a small area of SW Houston.
"Never mind the FACT I never signed a LMA or other signed legal agreement and that was filed with the FCC and thus a legal LMA was in agreement for my group to program and run the stations, though the licenses stayed in Henderson's name as required by FCC law...something I know little about but pretend that I do and I turned on TV transmissiters without legal licenses in my hand!"
Then, months later, for whatever reason Mr. Henderson decided to claim that his lawyer didn't have his authorization to make such a deal and insisted I shut my station down. I refused.
"Under federal law he asked me to remove my illegal signals from his license signals...and I as a prirate feeling above the law, refused"
Instead, I filed an affidavit of adverse possession at the courthouse, renewed Mr. Henderson's expired business license for "Far Eastern Telecasters" in my own name, and notified the FCC of the situation. The folks in Washington advised that unless Mr. Henderson filed a complaint about my continued operation, this was a dispute for civil court not the FCC. Mr. Henderson never made a complaint; later on, he just refused to renew the license. Thus, I went to Washington and filed a renewal in person.
"SO I tried to illegally claim the stations as mine by creating a false company with the same name in Texas (though Henderson's was a LLC in another state which is perfectly legal!) and then filed paperwork claiming to the legal licnesee. The FCC seeing through this ruse, decided not to get involved at this time; seeing Henderson as the legal licnesee. He later did not chose to renewal said licenses so I went to DC to try and steal the licenses again by claiming I AM the proper licensee with a changed address...which the FCC did not buy"
In Texas, we have a crude reply to a statement like this: BULLSHIT! The fact remains that your letter states you turned them in on behalf or Roy Henderson and Far Eastern Telecasters -- a legal entity that Mr. Henderson no longer owns. You did not have legal authority to do surrender anything on behalf of the current owners of Far Eastern.
"In Texas and the rest of the US court system, one company having the name of another legal company does not make the one party the legal owner of the other owner properties.. Far Eastern Telecasters, MI that was licensee of the LPTVs is not in Texas...where it was and its legal address and TAX ID is all the counts to the FCC...YOU ARE NOT THAT company. YOu merely tried to steal the TVs by creating another company with the same name...did you assume also any outstanding debt if you are the "same" company as the past one? If not, you are NOT the same company and have NO legal standing in that companies' legal affairs...."
Your are constantly making yourself a total ass with these postings.....keep it up...makes for a good laugh though!!

Mr. Continuous Wave....
The only filing Roy Henderson did to try to legitimize this so called company was a DBA filing in Harris County. If you go to this url -- http://www.cclerk.hctx.net/Applications/websearch/AN.aspx -- and search for "Far Eastern Telecasters" you will find his dba, which expired in 1996. This filing is the ONLY evidence of the legal existence of Far Eastern prior to my filing. There never was an LLC filing for Far Eastern Telecasters in Texas, Michigan, or anywhere else. There never was a tax id -- other than the one I obtained -- issued for Far Eastern, or any taxes paid by Mr. Henderson on his dummy DBA.
The evidence I've found indicates Far Eastern was probably set up so foreigner investors -- who can't legally own a broadcast station -- could "own" two TV stations using Roy Henderson's name. It probably wasn't the first time he obtained a license under false pretenses, and definitely wouldn't be the last -- e.g., Roy makes $20,000 "voluntary contribution" to the U.S. Treasury to settle fraud charges. See http://www.radioworld.com/article/wtcu-calls-license-revoked/9712
There are numerous laws in the United States providing that if property is abandoned and another claims and possesses it in an open and notorious manner, eventually that property becomes theirs. The ministry I run -- www.newbeginningshouston.info -- has to occasionally invoke this law to obtain title to abandoned houses that the city has declared to either constitute a public nuisance or is dangerous. We clean up, repair, and turn them into transitional housing for the homeless. Before I filed the adverse possession affidavit pertaining to the KVDO, I consulted with both the FCC and a lawyer. Had Mr. Henderson made any attempt to contest it -- which he didn't -- I had counsel willing to go to court and argue a point which many have been advocating for years -- e.g., extending the legal doctrine of adverse possession to portions of the spectrum licensed to, but not used by, licensees. See http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=976757
In any event, the situation is what it is.

As everyone knows, I've been doing a lot of digging into Roy Henderson's stations that have sat dark for years. I just barely got started calling engineers in Michigan, and suddenly the dark stations 92.3 WBNZ and 99.3 WOUF light up. See video link... Things that make you go hmmm.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTY4O-mMGYk

Speaking of digging… I have been told and just learned:
Seems Mr. “93QClassic.com” has had some skeleton digging in his own “sand box” that’s been painstakingly compiled and continues to be professionally investigated. So is his “carpetbagger” troll friend and cohort in Michigan, known as “ftballfan” that sometimes posts here in Texas seemingly always about a lone single subject, old man Roy Henderson and some of his stations. I told the troll to be careful in a previous post.
It seems this “93QClassic.com”, in concert with at least one other, has a history of “shakedowns” and similar attempts with other persons and organizations, including certain banks and other mortgage institutions that he has successfully and unsuccessfully solicited, Jesse Jackson style, all in the name of his indirectly profitable “not for profit” Church (reportedly not a real one). http://newbeginningshouston.webs.com/residences. Off the record construction agreements and special rents are also apparently part of the mix. His non-profit status as a “church” is glaringly deficient and its principals, I‘m told are currently under investigation and challenge. Certain banking professionals, institutions, local government individuals, and certain other individuals confirm a willingness to provide statements to that effect, if asked by a court of law or other governmental agencies, including the I.R.S.
Additionally, I have learned that this “93QClassic.com” personality is now being sought and cited by the FCC Enforcement Bureau Division, for admittedly being, and not limited to, a Pirate Broadcaster and impersonating a licensee of the Federal Communications Commission. Looks like his inept and stupid dream attempt at becoming a broadcast licensee principal may be over for good. And it may cost him $10k to $20k and additional penalties for what he has done and purposely conspired to do.
With all the libel, blackmail, lies, and fraud involved, it looks like his shake down of Henderson may not achieve the desired result he has attempted to gain from here and elsewhere.
“You mess with the bull, you get the horns” is what’s said here in Texas. He and his friend in Michigan are about to find that out I think. That’s one more “growth” in his head that he has to deal with (or maybe the ONLY one?).

Out of curiosity, I read the rag of this online community but never post. Until now...
I've been following 93 for two years ever since he asked this online community for help in reviving the low power music video channel and wasted money going to Michigan trying to see Roy. He wasn't a broadcaster. Didn't know what he was in for. Just a newbie wanting to bring back a TV station that few of us even remember. As I recall, we encouraged him. I personally would have gone about things a little differently, but from the content shared in this thread and others, I think he did the right thing. When Roy retracted his permission to "use" the license, 93 continued to broadcast, filed adverse possession paperwork, and kept in regular contact with FCC officials. This low power analog station was on the air for over seven months. I live in West U and could see it. Lord knows, I never watched the blurry picture and mono sound playing the likes of Boy George and Depeche Mode. We all knew about it, but no one complained.
The FCC didn't tell 93 to shut it down until after you surrendered the license, Roy. What does that tell you? You seem to forget that we don't own the spectrum. We use our little slices of the pie by permission from the government. And if we don't use it, we lose it.
I'm looking over your post again now. You have indirectly threatened two members of our community. I will be reporting this to the authorities.

Roy's just pissed because today the FCC told him they're not going to approve his sale of KROY to KSBJ until he resolves the objections I filed. See my new post in that thread.
Folks, its late. I just got back to Houston from Austin, where I attended the conference of the Texas Association of Broadcasters. I enjoyed a lecture given by FCC Agent Stephen Lee, and met with him both before and afterwards. Mr. Lee knows all about the KVDO situation and Roy Henderson, and gave no indication that I am in any trouble. At the conference, I would have liked to run into Henderson to give a piece of my mind, but he didn't show up. I did get a chance to share my experiences with other radio and TV people. One thing stands out, and that's how nobody had anything positive to say about Henderson. I won't repeat the negative stuff folks said 'cause we all already know it.
The above posting (#27) shared something which I will be forwarding to authorities. Our ministry New Beginnings operates a nonprofit residence (e.g. halfway house) in SW Houston that is authorized by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to accept former inmates released from prison back into society. A couple of weeks ago, our security cameras picked up a man parked across the street taking pictures of our property. Later, after dark, somebody attempted to pry open our back gate. A check of public records of the cameraman's license plate determined the vehicle belonged to a man from Fort Worth with a private investigators license -- albeit one that expired two years ago. In addition, I began having problems with my Android phone freezing up. It was discovered that an app was running that forwarded my GPS location, along with all numbers called, pictures taken, and copies of text messages to an unknown party. It required a factory restore to rid my phone of this pesky bug. At the time of the surveillance, I could not positively say who was responsible, but I forwarded relevant information to a friend who is a Deputy U.S. Marshal. Now I know...
Assuming post 27 is you, Roy, you have accused me of shaking you down or trying to extort something from you. Recently, through your attorney you sent me an email implicityly offering me money in the way you asked what I want to "go away." I repeat my reply again: I don't want your money, and I don't want to own your TV station. I didn't file adverse possession to "steal" your nonexistent station. It was to give me a legal interest so I could file a renewal to save a station you were abandoning to just let the license expire. Did you forget that while I had the station in operation two potential buyers with lots of cash came to me? I clearly told them it wasn't mine and referred them to you.
I'm not a broadcaster. I'm not a radio or tv guy. I'm just a good-hearted individual who dreamed of seeing classic music videos on local TV again. I just want you to keep the agreement made by your former lawyer -- e.g., that I could keep the low power analog station on until either (1) analog stations have to permanently cease operations in September 2015, or (2) in the event that you transitioned the channel to digital before then, that a subchannel would be made available for me to continue. That's all.
Folks, its late. I just got back to Houston from Austin, where I attended the conference of the Texas Association of Broadcasters. I enjoyed a lecture given by FCC Agent Stephen Lee, and met with him both before and afterwards. Mr. Lee knows all about the KVDO situation and Roy Henderson, and gave no indication that I am in any trouble. At the conference, I would have liked to run into Henderson to give a piece of my mind, but he didn't show up. I did get a chance to share my experiences with other radio and TV people. One thing stands out, and that's how nobody had anything positive to say about Henderson. I won't repeat the negative stuff folks said 'cause we all already know it.
The above posting (#27) shared something which I will be forwarding to authorities. Our ministry New Beginnings operates a nonprofit residence (e.g. halfway house) in SW Houston that is authorized by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to accept former inmates released from prison back into society. A couple of weeks ago, our security cameras picked up a man parked across the street taking pictures of our property. Later, after dark, somebody attempted to pry open our back gate. A check of public records of the cameraman's license plate determined the vehicle belonged to a man from Fort Worth with a private investigators license -- albeit one that expired two years ago. In addition, I began having problems with my Android phone freezing up. It was discovered that an app was running that forwarded my GPS location, along with all numbers called, pictures taken, and copies of text messages to an unknown party. It required a factory restore to rid my phone of this pesky bug. At the time of the surveillance, I could not positively say who was responsible, but I forwarded relevant information to a friend who is a Deputy U.S. Marshal. Now I know...
Assuming post 27 is you, Roy, you have accused me of shaking you down or trying to extort something from you. Recently, through your attorney you sent me an email implicityly offering me money in the way you asked what I want to "go away." I repeat my reply again: I don't want your money, and I don't want to own your TV station. I didn't file adverse possession to "steal" your nonexistent station. It was to give me a legal interest so I could file a renewal to save a station you were abandoning to just let the license expire. Did you forget that while I had the station in operation two potential buyers with lots of cash came to me? I clearly told them it wasn't mine and referred them to you.

Correction: I only withdrew the oppositions to KROY being transferred to KSBJ. My opposition was going to result in the license for KROY being deleted where nobody could use it. Those folks at KSBJ are decent; they had nothing to do with my dispute with Roy Henderson. It wasn't fair to deprive them of a chance to expand their ministry.

KEMA has NEVER been on the air that I can remember. I've never heard it once, might have been on several years ago but I remember a couple years ago another STA was filed for it due to vandalism. I believe the vandalism is totally made up.
Google is a little off (or the coordinates were entered wrong) If you go to the contour map off the FCC page https://maps.google.com/?q=http://t...4.5&contour=60&city=THREE_RIVERS&state=TX.kml and go DOWN in the picture toward the bend in the road (882) as it bends south, there is a building and a tower with a FM antenna on it...
