On June 13, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a consent decree with WSU that resolved issues related to violations of rules governing public inspection files, Emergency Alert System and station log issues raised during a review of KWCR's application for license renewal. Two people had charged that the station broadcast indecent lyrics, missed EAS tests, and violated underwriting rules for noncommercial stations. The university agreed to pay a civil penalty of $9,300. The FCC also required Weber State to sign a compliance plan, train station employees about license obligations, and conduct annual audits for three years, obligations that would be inherited by the station's buyer. The license renewal application was granted on July 12, 2017 upon tender of the civil penalty payment.
