WGUN EEO Report is for Valdosta Stations Only - Also, office phone disconnected

That would be a valuable license to pick up...50k days/45k critical hours...and what of the rumor that they could go 25k-DA nights?

Obviously not as valuable as a class C (or even class A) FM, but there are now a lot of homeless talk shows with the blowing up of the former News Monster, and WCFO has a garbage signal.
 
WGUN is owned by WGUN, Inc. The EEO statement and non-discrimination policy is for Rivers Radio of Georgia, Inc. I bet the public file would be interesting to see if this is any indication as to how they are meeting the FCC rules for documentation.

Also, the office phone number that I found on several websites has been disconnected. The www.atlantas1010.com website now lists only a request line. No office phone.

If anyone from WGUN reads this: Get a $40 a month prepaid cell phone with roaming and publish that phone number and have the phone at the Valdosta office or just list the Valdosta office number for business.
 
secondchoice, the item that stands out the most is the EEO Report:

http://riversradio.com/documents/eeoreport.pdf

If I am not mistaken, an EEO report is supposed to be posted on the station website under certain conditions. Well, the one that WGUN has posted does not even list WGUN on the report. The only stations listed are in Valdosta and are not owned by the same corporation.

We have seen the HUGE fines the FCC has been handing out about paperwork violations... you know... you can keep the transmitter at full power all night and nobody cares, but if one piece of paper is missing from a public file, it is a $10,000 fine.
 
Your are correct, the FCC tends to concentrate on paperwork rather than "technical" issues except EAS. There have been several stations pay fines for non working EAS. Some stations have a copy of the "public files" at the local library, but still somebody has to make sure the paperwork is correct.
 
The FCC can pee in your wheaties easily over Public File problems, tower light problems, and EAS problems. All three are easy for an inspector to document. Guess where the inspector is going to look?

Probably a lot easier to document (and cite) than someone forgetting to power down at sunset last Tuesday.

At one time the FCC was suppose to have a "van" that they could take signal strength reading and an oscilloscope to check for nasty side-bands. I have never seen even a picture of this van but back in the pre 80 90 days such a van was suppose to exist. It would take someone with a little "knowledge" to operate such a van. Does the current FCC even have "field engineers" that could take an antenna base current reading or read a watt meter?
 
Here in Atlanta we used to get post cards mailed from the FCC Monitoring Station in Powder Springs if they "listened" to your station. I saw one of the Cartersville AMs got one once that had many measurements on it. The FCC person marked the modulation in red pencil because the station was over modulating.
 
hey, if Christian Slater was being chased by the FCC listening vans in Pump Up the Volume, you just know they're out there.

WGUN should just turn the lights out and save the money. They have no listeners anyway with their mis-guided format.
 
I would actually listen to some of their shows, but only from a stream. I cannot pick up 1010 where I live because of WQXI 790 bleeding in all over everything. WQXI has leaked RF into the Georgia Power lines for years. Parts of Piedmont and almost all of Cheshire Bridge has splatter from WQXI up and down the dial.

In Duluth, it's WCNN popping up everywhere. Probably from their tower array in Peachtree Corners (Spalding @ Winters Chapel).

I used to have a problem with WPLO (610) in Lawrenceville doing the same thing, day and night.
