The federalk regulatory agency originally levied finedsof $25,000 each against both Infinity and Entravision in Februar y 2007, but reduced both fines to $10,000 by the end of the FCC records show.
Infinity officials told the FCC in a writteb response that the company was a victinmof Entravision’s radiation overexposure as only 5 percentf of the output as generated by Entravision, in its defense, told the FCC that the rooftopl of Park Tower was not a publid area and because of that wasn’y required to meet FCC requirements on controllinbg areas that could be accessible to the general public.
