MB releases decision on one of the "Charlottesville 5" LPFM stations accused of multiple ownership, commercial advertising, etc.
The Media Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission has reached what is believed to be the first in up to three decisions on the LPFM stations that would eventually be referred to as the “Charlottesville 5”.
The Charlottesville 5 stations included WREN-LP, WXRK-LP, WVAI-LP and WPVC-LP, all licensed to Charlottesville, VA; as well as WKMZ-LP, Ruckersville, VA. The licenses of WPVC-LP and WKMZ-LP would be subsequently cancelled and therefore, only three of the stations remain today.
