Illegally

Deletions

A pair of Mississippi signals have had their licenses revoked after a
competitor claimed that the stations were not operating within legal
parameters.

In April 2020, Delta Radio Network owner Larry Fuss submitted informal
objections against the license renewals for Donald Pughs Eternity Media
Groups 99.5 WETX Vardaman and 1540 WKXG Greenwood MS. In his objections
Fuss noted that WETX was never built, but filed for a license to cover in
2017 and a renewal in 2020, while WKXG was not utilizing the longwire
antenna specified in its active STA, but rather by taking turns on the
tower of Christian Broadcasting of Greenwoods 1240 WGRM Greenwood or not
operating at all.

After inquiries to show proof of legal operation at either station went
unanswered, the FCC has cancelled both licenses for failing to operate
within 365 days at legal parameters without a legal STA.
