FCC SAYS FLORIDA LPFM STATION EXCEEDED LEGAL LIMITS

Florida low-power FM station WZPP has been charged with boosting its licensed 100-watt signal on 96.1 FM to as high as 1,022 watts. According to an FCC notice of violation made public in late April, the station, known as the "Voice of the Caribbean," was operating at 811 percent of its authorized power when field agents from the enforcement bureau measured its signal strength in May of 2024. The station has been on the air since 2014 featuring sports, news, music and commentary that serves the Caribbean-American community.
The noncommercial station, which is operated by the Broward Jewish Alliance, has been told to respond to the FCC within 20 days of the notice's release date.
