Flagler College Radio FCC Complaint Filed: Federal Communications Commission Complaint No. 155115



1. Flagler College Radio provides the government of the City of St. Augustine with 26 hours of air time annually for its program, "The Break Room," hosted by City of St. Augustine Public Affairs Director PAUL WILLIAMSON.
2. Flagler College Eadio presents no regular news programs, thereby allowing the City government unfettered access to listeners with propaganda, distorting the news.
3. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called St. Augustine "the most lawless city in America."
4. Respondent Flagler College Radio giving the City 26 hours of PR fluff annually and lack of any regular news coverage fails to serve the pubLic interest.
5. This results in a total lack of radio coverage by respondent on matters of police abuses including the Sheriff's coverup of the shooting death of a deputy's girlfriend (reported by the New York Times, PBS Frontline, Dateline NBC, et al) and on local government misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance, waste, fraud, abuse, discrimination, pollution, no-bid contracts and destruction of historic resources (including 7-11's effort to build a large gasoline station and Flagler College's expansion into the historic district of our Nation's Oldest City, St. Augustine, Florida).
6. "The Break Room" is not news, but propaganda for the "ancien regime," even presenting the defeated former Mayor JOSEPH LESTER BOLES, JR. after voters rejected him over corruption and no-bid contracts, after he was no longer Mayor.
7. Please contact Flagler College President WILLIAM ABARE and kindly investigate the news distortion by Flagler College radio.
Thank you.
