FCC agents traced signals in Poughkeepsie and Mount Vernon.
The FCC Enforcement Bureau’s New York office has sent the “pirate letter” to two property owners in Mount Vernon, an inner suburb of New York City, and another in Poughkeepsie.
In both cases the letters advised the property owners that unlicensed FM broadcast signals had been found emanating from their properties and that they faced potential financial penalties of up to $2.39 million.
In the first case, the FCC said it received a complaint of illegal broadcasts on 104.5 MHz and that in May of last year it traced them to a property on South 3rd Avenue in Mount Vernon, which is just north of the Bronx. The letter was sent to Jeromio B. Edwards, owner of the property.
In the second case, the FCC got a complaint about broadcasts on 87.9 MHz in Poughkeepsie. In September its agents traced them to a property on Albert Road owned by Keiwan F. Morrison and Shadae S. Bailey.
