FCC settles with St. George Cable over leakage fines

The FCC has reached an agreement with St. George Cable that ends an investigation that began in 2010.

In 2012 the FCC levied an almost quarter-million dollar fine on St. George Cable for a number of issues including not having the required Emergency Alert System equipment installed and operating the cable system with too much signal leakage which can impact air traffic communications.

At the time the FCC levied a 236 thousand dollar fine against the company.

Last week the FCC issued a Consent Decree requiring St. George Cable to pay a fine of only 2500 dollars, though the the company could be forced to pay the remainder of the original proposed civil penalty if they violate FCC rules in the next three years.
That’s not likely going to happen as St. George Cable is no longer in operation.

It was purchased by the Mediacom Cable Company in 2015.
