Early 2014 Deadlines and Reminders

Broadcasters should take care not to lose focus with end of year off-time and the blur of bowl games.  January 10, 2014 is fast approaching and marks the deadline for when all AM, FM, TV and Class A TV broadcast stations must complete and place in their public inspection files the quarterly issues/programs list for the final quarter of 2013.  Full power and Class A television commercial stations must also complete and file the FCC Form 398 Children’s Television Report for the final quarter of 2013, and complete and place in the public file certifications that children’s television commercial limits have been met.  Class A TV stations should also complete and post in the public file a certification of continuing Class A eligibility.
