FCC Field Office downsizing confirmed

Following a rumor that has been widely reported regarding the FCC's
intentions to downsize its field office, *Radio Ink* has confirmed that the
Commission is considering the downsizing from an FCC spokesperson.

With the Commission taking fewer and fewer actions against pirates, this
news will be troublesome for many broadcasters, especially those in markets
where pirate signals are still a major issue.

In a very governmental sounding response, an FCC spokesperson responded to
Radio Ink's inquires regarding the rumor of downsizing in the field office,
"The Commission recently completed a thorough, data-driven review of our
field programs with an eye toward improving efficiency while meeting our
responsibilities both today and in the future. The commissioners are
considering a proposal that meets these goals."

Radio Ink reported last month that actions against AM/FM and shortwave
pirate stations last year were at their lowest level since 2000. In 2014
there were fewer than 200 actions against pirates. Markets including New
York, New Jersey, Florida and Boston are still hot spots for pirate
broadcast activity.
