Dates to Remember 

August 1, 2025

Radio and TV Stations located in North Carolina, South Carolina, Illinois, Wisconsin and California:  if five (5) full time employee threshold is met, prepare EEO public file report covering the period from August 1, 2024 – July 31, 2025, upload it to the station online public inspection file and post it on the station website

Mid-Term EEO Review for Radio stations located in California:  if station employment unit has eleven (11) or more full-time employees, an independent mid-term EEO review of your last two EEO public file reports by the FCC will occur in connection with the 2024-25 EEO public file report due August 1, and when uploading the report, each station in the SEU must indicate that the SEU has 11 or more full-timers using the “Mid-Term Review” tab is the OPIF settings section.  If the SEU has between five and ten full-time employees, when uploading the 2024-25 report, each station in the SEU should indicate that the SEU has fewer than 11 full-time employees using the “Mid-Term Review” tab in the OPIF settings section (by doing so, no mid-term review of the SEU will take place)

Mid-Term EEO Review for Television stations located in Illinois and Wisconsin: if station employment unit has five (5) or more full-time employees, an independent mid-term EEO review of your last two EEO public file reports by the FCC will occur in connection with your upload of the 2024-25 EEO public file report due August 1.  By uploading an EEO public file report, the FCC automatically knows that your television station meets the 5 or more full-time employee threshold for a mid-term review. Therefore unlike for radio, there is no OPIF mechanism available or needed for TV stations to specify the number of SEU employees.
