Selma Radio Station Taken Off the Air by FCCFrom the CBS 8 West Alabama Newsroom-- A Selma radio station has been shut down by the Federal Communications Commission after failing to renew its license. W-B-F-Z 105.3 FM no longer has a license to operate according to the F-C-C. They say the station's license expired on April 1st-- and the application for renewal should have been submitted December 1st of last year. Station co-owner Faya Rose Toure says the person that handles licensing for the station-- is the father of the University of Alabama student that recently drowned after falling off a riverboat in Tuscaloosa. "It is my information that things were filed, I don't know I never get involved at that level but I'm told that some things were filed. Until we can talk to Mr. Jones in detail to get his side of the story, the F-C-C is not perfect, you know, we never got a notice, to this day we haven't got a notice that that station is suppose to be off the air, I can tell you that," said Toure. She says the station stopped broadcasting voluntarily-- even though she says there's been no formal contact from the F-C-C. |
