November 8, 2022 Off By Eric O'Brien

Pat Cloonan has been reporting to PBRTV since summer about a pirate operator in the Johnstown/Indiana area on 99.9 FM. On September 8, 2022, the FCC found the pirate and served Randal Rogalski of Johnstown with a notice of illegal broadcasting.

The commission has warned they may issue a fine of $2,149,551 which would encourage the operator of the illegal station to respond with in 10 business days of the notice indicating one is no longer operating that station.
