timely file its renewal of broadcast station license application for KLAX-TV, Alexandria, La., the bureau said in a notice of apparent liability (http://bit.ly/1brH5BC). Word of God is apparently liable for a $2,400 fine for the same violation for its station KWBM-TV, Harrison, Ark., the bureau said (http://bit.ly/1e473ea). For failing to retain all required documentation in the public inspection file of WZRD(FM) Chicago, NIU is apparently liable for a $1,000 fine (http://bit.ly/1irAk7k), and the bureau proposed a $20,000 fine to Aerco for a series of violations, including failing to file the quarterly TV issues and program lists of WSJU-TV, San Juan, Puerto Rico (http://bit.ly/1dqZMFi). Also, the Enforcement Bureau issued Steckline Communications two $21,000 fines for failing to maintain required directional patterns within prescribed parameters for its Wichita, Kan., AM stations, KGSO and KQAM. Steckline also failed to operate the stations within authorized power limits and maintain complete public inspection files, the orders said (http://bit.ly/1kdYFBs, http://bit.ly/1bvLDtZ). The Media Bureau reduced the fine for Pentecostal Revival Association from $15,000 to $6,500, for its low-power TV station WJGV-CD in Palatka, Fla., bureau said on reconsideration (http://bit.ly/1lBhYGf). PRA was originally fined $15,000 for failure to timely file the station’s Children’s Television Programming Reports and to report the violations in its renewal application, the bureau said. In its response, the licensee provided financial documentation in an effort to support its argument that it cannot pay the original forfeiture amount, the bureau said.
