Yet more property owners have received notices from the FCC about alleged pirate radio operations.
Three are in the New York City area and one in Cleveland.
Corine Saunders received a notice of illegal radio broadcasting related to signals detected in June on 98.1 MHz from a property on South Fifth Ave. in Mount Vernon, N.Y., just outside the Big Apple.
KTJ NY Mgt. LLC got a notice for broadcasts on 97.3 from an address on White Plains Road in the Bronx in June.
1745 Realty NY LLC was told about a signal on 99.9 from a property on President Street in Brooklyn in May.
And A & O Trucking LLC received a notice about a signal detected in August on 91.7 from a property on Bellaire Road in Cleveland, Ohio.
The commission informed each of them that the FCC can issue fines of up to about $2.5 million in pirate radio enforcement cases.
We reported recently on another batch of letters that was sent, including four in the New York area.
The FCC began sending these letters to property owners in 2020 under new authority from Congress. In 2025, the commission issued 28 such letters, according to its most recent report to Congress.
The Enforcement Bureau has said that in addition to the risk of fines, the public nature of these enforcement actions can create business risks for recipients, thus acting as a deterrent.
