Scripps paid in a settlement over a TV Transmitter previously owned by Cordillera Communications for their Louisiana outlet.
Scripps Broadcasting has agreed to pay $1,130,000 to settle an FCC investigation into TV tower lighting issues with stations it purchased from Cordillera Communications.
The investigation was prompted by the crash of a small plane into a Cordillera TV tower in Kaplan, Louisiana, in 2018.
In order to get the Cordillera deal approved by the FCC, which it was last April, Scripps had agreed to abide by the results of the ongoing investigation into the tower-lighting issues and to toll the statute of limitations, meaning it agreed to extend it by two years.
