107.9 KBCP-LP Brookshire license was officially cancelled today according to the FCC Daily Digest.
What a waste of our money! LOL
And judging by the fact they didn't reply to the FCC's notification... Hmm... Makes me wonder why they don't care about things like that.
Oh school districts have more important things to do - like denying enough parking spaces for high school students, illegally seizing cell phones owned by parents, etc.
I bet they could have found a tower or support somewhere...but realized after buying the station just how much it really costs to keep the station on the air (royalties on any music, transmitter operational costs, paying a tower crew to install feedline and antenna...if they even had that!)...
New Caney had an AM on campus years ago at the high school....was a 50 watt....(which is legal under conditions...problem was they didnt meet the conditions; the signal extended WELL beyond the campus at above legal limits)...When they got notified they were illegal as to their off campus signal, they took it down. Funny, a Part 15 FM on top of the highest building on campus may have covered better OR the AM put in the center of the campus and power set for legal levels at the edge.....but the transmitter/antenna was right next to the science labs on the north side of the campus....BAD planning....(and an engineer from a well known station was helping them...he should have known the rules!)
