FCC Proposes Massive Fine on Boston Pirate - Radio Ink

Today The Federal Communications Commission proposed a $453,015 fine against Gerlens Cesar, operator of Radio TeleBoston. It’s the largest fine ever proposed by the FCC against a pirate. The Commission says Cesar used three transmitters for his illegal operation.

Cesar apparently simulcasts Radio TeleBoston on three unauthorized transmitters on two different frequencies.  His operation thus had the potential to cause interference in various locations in and around Boston and at different channels on the FM dial.  As a result of the scale of this operation, its potential impacts, and its continuous nature, the Commission has proposed the maximum penalty amount for all three transmitters.

The FCC received complaints from residents of Boston and Randolph, Massachusetts of an illegal station operating at both 90.1 and 92.1 MHz.  One of those complaints identified Cesar, owner of GC Computer, as the operator of Radio TeleBoston.  FCC Enforcement Bureau field agents were able to locate the transmitters and determine that they far exceeded the allowable power level for unlicensed broadcasting.  The Enforcement Bureau issued Cesar multiple written notices that his conduct was illegal and had to cease.  Cesar nonetheless continued to broadcast Radio TeleBoston from multiple transmitters and frequencies, none of which were licensed, resulting in today’s proposed fine.
