The FCC last week warned eight property owners — including a church on Blue Hill Avenue in Dorchester — that they have two weeks to shut down the unlicensed radio stations operating in their buildings or face fines of more than $2.3 million per station.
It’s the latest in a series of FCC actions over the past decade aiming to squelch radio stations, many serving the local Haitian community, that the FCC says don’t have licenses but can interfere with stations that do. 

Among those warned in letters sent Friday: New Fellowship Baptist Church of Dorchester, which was cited for allowing two unlicensed stations to use antennas on the roof of its building, a former theater at 616 Blue Hill Ave. That could leave it open to fines totaling $4.6 million. 

The commission gave the church two weeks to prove it has kicked the stations off its property. Similar notices went out to the owners of 92 Hazelton St. in Mattapan for an unlicensed station at 107.5 MHZ and at 56 Deering Rd. in Mattapan for 100.1 MHZ.
One of the frequencies the commission cited was 88.5 MHz, which was still broadcasting last weekend as Big City FM.
