The FCC has entered into a Consent Decree with Townsquare Media, parent company of KLIX-AM/Twin Falls ID and KIDO-AM/Nampa ID. The decree resolves the Bureau's investigation into Townsquare's violations relating to on-air sponsorship identification announcements and the maintenance of online political files.

Under the decree, Townsquare agrees, among other things, to implement a plan to ensure its future compliance with its sponsorship identification and online political file obligations, submit annual compliance reports to the Bureau through the remainder of the current license terms of the two stations and pay a Civil Penalty to the U.S. Treasury of $500,000.

The Commission did not set for hearing the question of Townsquare's basic qualifications to hold or obtain any Commission license or authorization.
