STATEMENT OF FCC CHAIRMAN MICHAEL K. POWELL

In response to recent reports regarding potential violations of the "payola" and sponsorship identification provisions of the Communications Act, I have instructed the Enforcement Bureau to open two investigations:
One into issues regarding commentator Armstrong Williams; and the other into issues regarding station WKSE (FM), Niagara Falls, New York, licensed to a subsidiary of Entercom Communications Corporation.
These provisions govern disclosure and sponsorship identification regarding payments or other consideration in connection with broadcast programs.
