FCC Fines iHeart $1M: The FCC has fined iHeartMedia $1 million for the October 2014 airing of fake EAS tones on WSIX/Nashville's syndicated The Bobby Bones Show. iHeartMedia has agreed to pay the civil penalty, admits the misuse of the tones and has agreed to a three-year compliance and reporting plan in response to the incident that aired on more than 70 affiliated stations. "The public counts on EAS tones to alert them to real emergencies,” says FCC Enforcement Bureau Chief Travis LeBlanc. “Misuse of the emergency alert system jeopardizes the nation’s public safety, falsely alarms the public, and undermines confidence in the emergency alert system."
