That operational stretch begins just after the FCC designated another station’s license for hearing over extended silences (see 1708160032). The proceeding against KLSX will be a “paper hearing” because the FCC hasn’t found any credibility issues with the facts of the proceeding, the order said.

The company has 30 days after the HDO is published in the Federal Register to provide those records, and 60 days to file a response, the order said. KLSX didn’t comment.
