On March 31, 2014, the FCC issued an NAL for $5,000 to WTRI Holding for going off the air "without timely requesting special temporary authority" from the Commission. If a station is unable to stay on the air for more than 30 days, the owner must ask the FCC for authorization to remain silent. The Commission says WTRI was off the air for over seven months and didn't even bother to provide the agency an explanation as to why so they'll have to pay the fine. Read the forfeiture order HERE
