Ouch! Blaze gets $4000 fine.

From Radio-Info....

Putting somebody on the air without notification usually equals a $4000 FCC fine

And that's just what happens to 3 Point Media's KHTB in Salt Lake City - where a jock called the Utah Poison Control Center and taped a question about the effects of swallowing pepper spray. It doesn't matter whether the material airs taped or live: the person on the other end of the phone must be notified they're going to be on the air, before they say a single word. KHTB admits the violation and says it was against "long-standing station policy."
