    FCC commish Brendan Carr has announced that the FCC is investigating San Francisco radio station KCBS 740AM. The investigation is focussing on the fact that the radio station revealed locations and vehicle information of undercover ICE officials.

    The station is a part of the Audacy group, a radio conglomerate that George Soros controls. Soros bought a majority stake in the company last year after a politicized fast-track waver. The waiver war required because the Soros purchase would create a more than 20% foreign ownership stake.

    On the Jan. 26 edition of KCBS Radio Weekend News, the host revealed specific information about undercover ICE agents who were “carrying out an operation on the east side of town.”

    “The Santa Clara County Rapid Response Network, which is a community defense projecting system for immigrant communities against deportation threats, first reported the activity on its platforms,” the host told listeners. The host then revealed the specific make, color and model of several unmarked vehicles used in the operation. The station also revealed the exact locations of several ICE agents working in the area.

    The FCC Enforcement Bureau is looking into whether the radio station — which is licensed to operate by the FCC — is violating the terms of its FCC license. The licence requires that it operates in the “public interest.”

    The Say Hey Kid Dead at 93

    Baseball Great Willie Mays died yesterday of heart failure. He was 93.

    Mays made his pro baseball debut with the Birmingham Black Barons in 1948 when he was 17. He played with Birmingham until 1950, when he signed with the then-New York Giants upon graduating high school. Mays first played with the Giants in 1951, winning National League Rookie of the Year and helping the Giants win the pennant.

    Willie was selected to the All-Star Game 24 times. He won the National League Most Valuable Player award twice. His 660 career home runs were second to Babe Ruth at the time of Mays’ retirement. Mays won 12 Gold Glove Awards. He led the National League in stolen bases four times. Mays led the National League in home runs four times. He was the first player in National League history to have 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in the same season. Making his career stats all the more remarkable is that Mays missed most of the 1952 and all of the 1953 seasons as the Army drafted him following the 1951 season.
