In this Notice of Apparent Liability CRS Radio Holding owner of WFBX-AM and WFAY in Spring Lake North Carolina violates commission rules by failing to ensure that emergency alert system equipment was operational. In 2008, in response to a complaint that the station had been without operational EAS equipment for more than a year, the FCC sent an inspector to WFBX?s main studio in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The agent observed that Station WFBX did not have any EAS equipment located in the room which contained the station?s control equipment.
In addition, the commission says EAS equipment for Station WFAY was not operational, because it was turned off and was not connected to an antenna. None of the staff at Station WFBX could produce any EAS logs or other evidence that any weekly or monthly EAS tests had been sent or received. Staff members for Station WFAY and Station WFBX stated that both stations had been without EAS equipment since the stations relocated to the current main studio.
