Under the agreement, Pacifica will adhere to a two-year, short-term license renewal for WBAI and commit to implementing a comprehensive compliance plan to meet its sponsorship and underwriting obligations moving forward. Additionally, Pacifica has agreed to pay a $25,000 civil penalty to the United States Treasury.
