Public File Fine

On January 30, 2003, an agent from the Commission’s Kansas City, Missouri Field Office (“Field Office”) inspected Station KTTK’s facilities, and observed that certain documents (the station’s contour map and issues/programs list, and copy of the “Public and Broadcasting” manual) were missing from the station’s public files and thus not made available during the station’s regular business hours.

Result = $4,000 fine.
