My tax dollars go where?

A local college radio station is being called to task for the following alleged infractions, committed over a year ago.
The examination also revealed shortfalls relating to the following three conditions of licence:
1. the licensee broadcast a level of 4.73% category 3 music instead of the weekly minimum of 5%;
2. the licensee broadcast a weekly level of 0.83% news instead of the weekly minimum of 4%; and
3. the absence of any formal educational programming despite its condition of licence to broadcast a minimum of two hours of such programming.
A hearing was called and people were flown in from all over the country to attend. All because a college radio station didn’t play some news and missed a few minutes of “category 3 music”.
I realize spectrum is a limited commodity, but gee-whiz, isn’t there a more efficient way of handling this?
