Under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, the Commission may, in
appropriate circumstances, decide to revoke (47 U.S.C. § 312) or not to renew
(47 U.S.C. § 309(k)) a license or other authorization. In both cases, the
Commission issues a preliminary decision describing the facts of the case
and setting the matter for hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ).
During the hearing, the licensee and the Enforcement Bureau may present
evidence on the licensee?s fitness to retain its license. Following
conclusion of the hearing, the ALJ issues a decision on the merits, which
may be appealed to the full Commission.
The following table is a partial compilation of Commission, Bureau, and ALJ
decisions from 2000 to the present relating to the cancellation of broadcast
and wireless licenses, equipment authorizations, and interstate common
carrier authority. Although we will endeavor to keep this webpage complete
and up-to-date, not all decisions regarding such cases are published.
Interested persons are strongly advised to check with the Office of
Administrative Law Judges or the Enforcement Bureau to determine the current
status of any case listed below.
