I went to school with them and have seen them a few times and they are releasing their first major label album on Lava (Atlantic)... They rock. And they just opened for Aerosmith, at the band's request, TWICE.

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.

From RBR
Copps talks consolidation with noncomsStation managers affiliated wtih Eastern Public Radio and Southern Public Radio are confabbing in the close-in Washington DC suburbs 10/26-27, and will host FCC Commissioner Michael Copps late in the afternoon of day #2. The topic will be one of essentially peripheral concern to the noncommercial community - - media consolidation. Copps will address the session at the Four Points Sheraton in Bethesda on Wednesday, 10/27/04 at 3:30 PM Eastern. Noncommercial licensees are not subject to the same local station caps which are imposed on commercial broadcasters, and are not required to file engineering reports demonstrating compliance with the rules when involved in a station transaction. At the same time, they rarely bump up against the caps anyway.
