Shake 108 FM: New Non-Profit, Local Radio Station Launches in Miami

The stream is still active but I can't find the station with the FCC? What happened? Is it still on air?

At least it was still active an hour ago. I have a feeling it might be up and down...

It does not seem to be on the FCC database.

...or R-L, but I can assure you that they are still on the air.
Gee, I have known of stations going from undocumented to documented, but never the reverse.

WJTW in Jupiter at 100.3 is advertising it is for sale for $ 225,000.00. Not legal to make a profit on the sale of a LPFM.

The FCC has canceled the construction permit for WMIV-LP 107.9 Miami on 9/5/2015.

Once again a format is needed for success. I saw a story they were playing everything from Bob Dylan to 2 live crew. Even if the did a niche format such as Rhythmic oldies. They might of been okay. Great website, and they got a good deal of publicity, but no organized music or programmed format. Just a observation.

I was told the CP expired with no license to cover filed... It was deleted. Uh-oh... http://www.fccinfo.com/CMDProEngine.php?sCurrentService=FM&tabSearchType=Appl&sAppIDNumber=1565765

I'm not sure if they can still save the license somehow.

I sent an email via their website asking how they are able to be on the air if the FCC shows no license and an expired CP.
Bets are on:
1. I get no answer.
2. I get a nastygram about free speech and free airwaves.
3. I get a convoluted "there was an error at the FCC" explanation
4. I get no explanation and am told to listen online

To be so lucky, so fortunate, so blessed, to have a CP and to then put the station on the air, but to then lose everything by not filing the right paperwork is a new peak of irresponsibility. If I had that license, I would firstly have gotten an attorney to deal with the commission for me, and secondly asked for programming help from you and/or other RD friends.

He has not returned my phone call or text message, but I had told him several times by voice and text, not make his underwriting adds sound so "commercial". Could that be why he has gone AWOL? He could have had a very good thing going. I doubt that Sonny would have cared to pay him to go dark.

Most important rule: Always have a Attorney when it comes to filing FCC documents. Safe, sound, secure, and you'll sleep well at night.

OK, here is the latest:
They are still on the air and seem to have a stronger signal.
They either upped their power or they moved several miles north.
I will track them down when I have a chance in a few days.

I believe I have tracked them to somewhere in downtown Miami.
They seemed to be really strong by the Miami River east of I-95 and up by the AAArena, so they could be shielded by their building between those two places plus have a close-in null.
If they are hidden in the middle of a high rooftop, I am afraid I might never find them.
Also it was dark when I was there last night.
Anyone want to lend me some binoculars and maybe a helicopter or dirigible?

It's back, CP was reinstated. Awesome!

Interesting, they are still shown as being in the same location as before.

Well it turns out they weren't transmitting from licensed coordinates, at least according to FCC... You were right about them moving and not filing to account for it.

It's now fully licensed, BTW. Hopefully they can get themselves fixed somehow.

I tried really hard,
but I could not resist.
