Miami Pirate Fine Progresses to Next Level
<p> </p>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A $10,000 fine against Antonio Robinson for operating a pirate station in Miami has progressed to a forfeiture order.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The FCC said Robinson operated an unlicensed station on 105.5 MHz from his commercial suite in Miami. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Miami Office of the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau issued a Notice of Apparent Liability to Robinson in May. </span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The office said Robinson has not responded to the notice, so the case has progressed to the next level. The commission affirmed the $10,000 fine; Robinson has 30 days to pay or the case may be turned over to the Justice Department for collection.</span></div>
