Television station in Kentucky, United States
W10BM (channel 10) was a low power television station in Morehead, Kentucky , United States, that later operated unlicensed and was fined as a pirate station by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Licensed broadcast term
[ edit ]
The FCC granted an amended construction permit for W10BM by December 4, 1987,[2] and a license by March 29, 1990.[3] A license renewal expired on August 1, 1998.[4] The licensed parameters were for 18 watts at 30 meters (98 ft ) above ground level , broadcasting on VHF channel 10 with a city of license of Morehead, Kentucky , and licensee named as Vearl Pennington at a post office box in Mount Sterling, Kentucky .[5]
On April 27, 2004, the FCC sent the Mount Sterling post office box a letter saying that W10BM at Morehead, as well as W06BC at Mount Sterling, would be cancelled unless the FCC received a response.[6] On October 18, 2004, a letter was sent to the same address, stating that no response was received and both station licenses were cancelled.[7]
Pirate broadcasts and fines
[ edit ]
On May 12, 2017, the FCC fined the station's operators, Vearl Pennington and Michael Williamson, $144,344 for continuing to operate W10BM despite the cancellation of the license.[8] The fine was upheld on January 28, 2019.[9]
The channel remained on the air through carriage via local Spectrum systems, until it was dropped on February 23, 2022.[10] If it was still broadcasting using its transmitter, likewise, it also violated the FCC's July 13, 2021, deadline for all analog television operations to end.
