At first I thought this was maybe clickbait and the article would provide some additional details. But it’s pretty much as dumb as it sounds.
Basically any radio station owner with a felony is automatically placed into a hearing, and this tax fraud felony from 2008 was made available to the FCC now (from not paying taxes on some cigarette stamps, seems a trifle).
Still seems dumb on the FCCs part. It’s not like you’re guessing about the station. It’s been on the air for a decade. No hearing necessary.
