Aaron Streeter allegedly operated “Da Pound FM” even after FCC agents visited
The FCC issued a fine of $60,000 this past week against a Florida man for allegedly operating a pirate radio station.
The penalty is against Aaron Streeter in connection with a station heard on 89.1 MHz in Miami Gardens, Fla., called “Da Pound FM.”
As we reported at the time, the commission announced the proposed fine early last year. It says Streeter has not filed a response to its notice of apparent liability in the months since then. If he doesn’t pay within 30 days the FCC may refer the case to the Justice Department.
According to the original notice, during its 2024 enforcement sweeps in the Miami area, field office agents traced an unauthorized signal to a residence, and saw and photographed an FM broadcast antenna with a coaxial cable running to a nearby shed.
The FCC said agents subsequently spoke to Streeter and that he agreed to stop broadcasting, but that later he allegedly resumed from another location and promoted it on social media including a video showing him broadcasting from a studio, with accompanying text stating, “Family and Friends I’m back with the hottest old school jams right here on 89.1 fm.”
