The FCC has closed a popular Caribbean-theme radio station headquartered in Miramar, the Miami Herald [1] reports. Vibez radio offered news, music and talk about Caribbean politics. Its owner won construction permits from the FCC, but lost them due to financial troubles. When Vibez continued broadcasting anyway, police shut the station down.
Anti-piracy legislation that went into effect this year allows authorities to charge unlicensed broadcasters with committing a third degree felony. No one was arrested in the Vibez case, but authorities did seize equipment.
