For the reasons set forth below, we conclude that B&C willfully and repeatedly violated Section 73.1125 of the Commission's rules by not maintaining a main studio for WAOM(TV), Section 73.3527 of the rules by not maintaining its local public inspection file at the station's main studio, and Section 73.1201 by failing to regularly broadcast station identification announcements.

INTRODUCTION In this Forfeiture Order (``Order''), we issue a monetary forfeiture in the amount of nine thousand dollars ($9,000) to Monroe Area Broadcasters, Inc.

The noted violations involve Monroe's failure to adequately attenuate WRKQ's transmission system emissions, failure to identify WRKQ by call sign, and operation of WRKQ at night with daytime power.
