Pirate Radio Operator Settles with FCC

The Enforcement Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has reached an agreement with an operator of a pirate radio station in Brockton, Massachusetts.

According to a Consent Decree issued by the FCC, Jean Marius, the pirate radio station operator, has agreed to pay a civil penalty of $10,000 to settle charges in connection with operating a radio station without a license in 2023. His broadcasts reportedly exceeded the field strength limits for operation under Part 15 of the Commission’s rules.

In addition to the $10,000 civil penalty, Marius also agreed to pay a further penalty of $587,000, should he fail to pay the agreed-upon amount, or if he is found liable for pirate radio broadcasting efforts anytime over the next 20 years.
