WQYK, Univision affiliate hit with FCC fines
Tampa Bay Business Journal - 11:31 AM EST Wednesday, February 7, 2007
The broadcast towers that climb beyond the top of the Park Tower building in downtown
Tampa are under scrutiny by the Federal Communications Commission, costing two local
broadcasters $35,000 in fines.
The FCC has issued a $10,000 fine against Infinity Broadcasting Corp. of Florida,
the licensee of WQYK-FM, and $25,000 against Entravision Holdings LLC, licensee
of Univision television affiliate WVEA-Channel 62, for not properly informing visitors
to Park Tower's rooftop that the broadcast towers there exceed the maximum permissible
exposure of radio frequency radiation. While it is not illegal in itself to exceed
radiation standards, areas that do exceed those limits have to be properly restricted
only to those trained in dealing in such environments, who can properly manage their
exposure, the FCC said.
