WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In regards to an Enforcement Advisory and letter the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) distributed to various organizational bodies regarding unauthorized broadcast operations, or pirate radio operations, the following statement can be attributed to NAB Executive Vice President of Communications Dennis Wharton:
"NAB salutes FCC outreach to public safety, law enforcement, landlord and advertiser groups in the effort to eliminate illegal pirate radio operations. Pirate radio is a blight on the public airwaves, and needs to be eradicated immediately. NAB is pleased that this action signals an increased FCC focus on this important issue, and also looks forward to working with Congress to enhance the tools at the FCC’s disposal to crack down on this illegal activity."
