Birach Broadcasting is facing a $12,000 fine from the FCC because the company hasn’t enclose their two transmitting towers for WWCS 540 AM in Cannonsburg, PA. The FCC says the company. During an inspection field agents found “large sections” of the wooden fence surrounding the site had completely fallen onto the ground and a “significant amount” of vegetation had grown over them, indicating they’d been down for quite some time. District Director David Dombrowski says the Birach has a history of not following its fence rules, saying in the notice that Birach “may have a systemic compliance issue with the antenna structure fencing rules.” He points out that since 2012 the Bureau has issued $27,000 in penalties for similar problems.
