Try the Radio Music License Committee. They're the one-stop-shop for all of

Do it soon. There's a Jan 31 deadline for dealing with GMR, the one you
DIDN'T mention. They are by far the most aggressive and difficult to deal
with.

Mayors openly ignore unlicensed radio operations, just as whole states
legalize marijuana in despite of Federal law.

I have been trying to notify all three companies since the beginning of
December that our company has acquired WFRD from Dartmough College. I can't
get them to return my phone calls.
